Yes but your forgetting a few things.
1) Brady was not as old as bledsoe, Huard and Green are both +33, which is pretty much near the end of most NFL players careers. Brady was 24 years old, and was worth the investment.
2) Brady was not at the end of his contract, Huard is.
3) Bledsoe had NEVER delivered the type of numbers Green consistantly gave the Chiefs over the last few years.
I'm not saying it can't and shouldn't happen. But in the last game of the season, under a first year coach for your team, you dont wanna trash one of your highest paid and (in the past) most reliable assets for a no name who had a few outstanding games.
