I do think his time in KC is over, no matter what. He's just too toxic and the on field production is too inconsistent.
That being said... he does bring elements we're going to miss. He's still somewhat a leader in the locker room. He's disciplined in his cutback responsibilities, does a good job setting the edge, has registered a ton of pressures this season, and that play he made against the Rams, where he submarined two separate pulling offensive linemen... I mean no other DE on this team could make that play. That was 2019 Frank Clark, right there, just an unbelievable play.
His time in KC is over, but that doesn't mean we won't miss some of the stuff he does. The best solution to that is for Veach to actually upgrade the DE position. I think it means being aggressive in the 1st round to move up and get the guy you need.
I think Karlaftis is just some technique work away from being a 10-sack guy. Danna has been solid in a rotational role.
And I think this team needs to have a conversation about Carlos Dunlap that they didn't think they'd be having earlier in the season. Dunlap is starting to feel necessary for 2023.
