Restructure or be gone. Just business. Getting paid like your a top defensive player in the whole NFL. But your at best average these days.

Blinded by his contract. Something has to be done with that. If not, bye.

I honestly think Houston is the best defender we have. I also think he is a better pash rusher than Ford. Losing him makes this D alot worse.

I get it though - like you; we're all sold on him primarily being a pass-rusher, but he does a lot of intangibles well. That's hard to find out there. |

we can get a top defensive FA that is actually a top player in the NFL. That improves the team.

Personally, I’d say keep him and tag and trade ford if it’s one or the other. Hopefully they draft a pass rusher with one of the first 3 picks and I’d rather have Houston mentoring them than Ford. Also, we could release him the following year with no real cap loss, so there isn’t much risk in keeping him another year. If he is willing to restructure then I think keeping him is a no brained. Him being on the field is partially why Ford had such a good season.
This scheme will also help Kpass and speaks, so we have options on the roster as well to replace Ford, who has missed a ton of time anyways. Houston’s injury was by contact, and had the chiefs handled his return table better, he wouldn’t have re-tore it and missed more time. Ford has had back issues and countless nagging injuries. |

I think the switch to 4/3 is a game-changing outlook w/ regard to responsibility and 'who' does 'what' and when - I think we need to remember that.

Who are you gonna get at his position that would be as good? That’s also shelling out big time guaranteed money. Houston’s contract gives us yr to yr flexibility now.

Let me be fair - I'm okay w/ this, too. Houston is better suited for this new switch and it makes far more sense. I just like that free'd money more-so - but that's a solid post my brother. I'm good w/ it.

Id rather have Houston than Ford. Cutting Houston saves around 15 mil and franchising Ford will cost around 16 million. Get rid of Ford and hope either Speaks or KPass can take the spot.

Ya I do as well as far as the money. Especially now that it can be rolled over year by year so that makes it a hard decision. Do you think it comes down to Ford or Houston? Because I don’t see both of them on the roster next season.

Kpass was asked to lose weight for his OLB switch. He was deactivated the last several games of the season. Anyone think they already knew about the switch to a 4-3 and just shut him down for the year to start preparing his body for the scheme change?
