I wouldn't mind the Chiefs extending Dee Ford this offseason too while they're at it. The more I've analyzed it, I expect Ford to have a mega season next year if he doesn't have any setbacks.
Houston in his 3rd year before elbow injury (11 sacks in 11 games). Enters contract year in 2014, bets on self, makes hay with 22 sack season.
Ford in his 3rd year before hammy strain (10 sacks in 9 games). Finishes year with no more. I would never suspect a 22 sack season from Ford, but if he goes out next year and takes over with a 15+ sack season, we will again be forced to possibly pay QB money for a pass rusher.
Like Fisher last year, I'd like to see that deal get done by August..
