The Chiefs could have continued shopping him right up to the 14th and beyond, however, the Rams offered the best deal and the Chiefs accepted. Because of the rule, they have to wait until the 14th and it makes sense the team getting the player would ask to keep it confidential. If players were involved like Quinn, it might have been different, but it's the way it has worked for years, when trades go down before the new league year begins.
But I do realize on Twitter you get all kinds, so I get it, but still I find it amazing, however, if they were tweeting about Molecular Genetics, I would be the same way.
