If we're going to trade Ford might as well keep Houston for another year

Trading Ford and not Houston would be a bad business decision. If one has to go, it's Houston.

From what it looks like.....the coaching staff doesn't think that Ford fits in the 4-3. Oh ****ing well. |

Why does it look that way? This exactly how the Chiefs maximize their leverage in negotiations and extract value. They express to the rest of the league that they have options. You want Houston? Well, he may not be cut because we may trade Ford instead. You want Ford? Well, we don't have to trade him as we can just cut Houston.
If the Chiefs approached this any other way, they'd be idiotic. |

I'm saying that blowing it all up, even your talented players is not how you get better. Maybe eventually, but certainly not in 2019. Like last season when the Chiefs thought it was a good idea to trade away their best corner. They didn't get better. Maybe they will eventually....but they didnt in 2018 even though everyone swore it was addition by subtraction. And Spags isn't exactly Wade Phillips. Dude has a very, very mixed bag of results in the NFL.

It doesn't sound like we're getting anything for Houston. If you cut Houston and stick with Ford you're stuck with about 7 million in dead cap and Ford's 15 million dollar franchise tag. So keep Ford= 22 million against the cap and low or no draft pick Keep Houston and trade Ford= 23 million against the cap. Acquire a high draft pick |

I know people here poo-poo this, but he's a young, still ascending player, has played for this d-line coach and so already knows the calls and responsibilities and is a better all-around player. He's probably at most a 10 sack guy, but a 10 sack guy that plays the entire game well is a good pick-up.
He and Landon Collins would give you two young studs well versed in the scheme to build your defense around. |

You're taking the only thing this D did well and removing it and hoping they're better for it. Maybe they trade both. I'm not ruling it out. But i can't see that making them a better unit in 2019.

Don’t worry guys, we’re gonna get rid of our most impactful players to free up money to sign....(checks notes) and in the box safety who’s coming off an injury plagued season to a big contract
