Very true.
Its good to feel skeptical under that circumstance or scenario.
Im worried that if they break the bank for him, he won’t be as good.
I think now is a good time to trade him. Trade Ford for a really good corner or safety. Do it now while his value is high and given that passrushers are a premium in this league and I think there will be a few teams that will covet him. Will the Chiefs do it? Im not so sure.
But if they did, I wouldn’t be opposed to that at all.
They’re gonna transition to a 4-3 anyway. My logical choices for players to depend on to rush the passer in the 4-3 under would Houston and Jones. But Houston is injury prone so it may be wise to draft for DE depth? Sorry to drift a bit off topic here but I think they can afford to trade Ford. They could sacrifice a bit of passrush for some secondary help. Sometimes you gotta give up something to get something.
