I don't think they cheated personally, but there is cause for suspicion. Scott Pioli, the new GM for the Chiefs, was basically did everything in his power to save Belichick's ass during Spygate. Belichick and Pioli are very close and Belichick might have wanted to help Pioli start his team in KC. So KC gets two very good players for next to nothing and the Pats get to dump salary. Basically trying to keep it in the family. Like a consortium of sorts.
The Pats would've theoretically received a much better value by dealing with the Broncos but given Belichick's animosity towards Mangini, it's very possible that Belichick wouldn't want to help out McDaniels in any way. Plus it's rumored that Belichick tipped off the Boston Globe about Cutler being in trade talks to stir up something in Denver which it totally has.
