Which brings up an interesting way to look at this...
Ford’s tag is estimated to be around $16M. You tag him, that’s $16M gone for a guy who
could be a really good pass rusher for us again, but comes with great injury risk and may not fit in with this new defense as well.
If you can trade him, for even just a 2nd round pick, you’ve got an extra 2nd + $16M in space that could very possibly pay for a new starter at safety and someone else in the front 7. Or wherever else you want to pick up a starter at.
So, if I say that you can have either Dee Ford for one season or a 2nd round pick + Landon Collins + Player X (FA mid level starter), what would you do?
Now they could tag Ford and get rid of Houston, leaving about an extra $12M in cap space. But there won’t be a draft pick coming back our way.
