Ward wasn't overpaid by any stretch of the imagination. But we felt we could replace his production with scheme and/or cost controlled players. I think that's exactly the situation we find ourselves in with JJSS.

We were finding capable guys like Ward from a practice squad, Fenton from the 6th rd, Sneed from the 4th and Breeland from the scrap heap around training camp.
The Chiefs have taken shots at Cornell Powell, Jehu Chesson, Byron Pringle, Demarcus Robinson. None of those guys could fill the Sammy Watkins type role with any effectiveness.
It’s pretty obvious that we haven’t been able to fill Sammy’s shoes ever since he left.
I think Juju is capable of doing here what he did in Pittsburgh in 2019 next season as he gets a full offseason with Patrick.
