Andy Reid said Houston is ahead of schedule. He's going to play this year and more than likely he'll be ready for Week 1.

I don't think the Chiefs need to make any drastic moves like signing Dwight Freeney just for the sake of saying, "Well, we wanted to be prepared for Houston not being around for a couple weeks." If they do that, I can easily see Freeney stinking up the joint and having fans lambast Dorsey for bringing him aboard.

Didn't say it should be Freeney

I figure that Houston would play this year, it's just a matter of WHEN Houston is 100%. I really don't want to lose 2/3 games waiting if we can sign a cheap vet to help us short term.

Do you trust Ford even in the short term?

We won a string of games at the end of last year with Ford as one of the starting OLBs. Even if he doesn't improve one bit this year, there's no reason why we can't do the same against the scheduled opponents we have this year at the beginning of the season.

This is entirely about finding a guy to replace Hali should the need arise due to injury or rotation in the game. Yeah, that's pretty important, but I don't think an equally washed up vet like Freeney is the answer. I'd rather just roll with Zombo/Massaquoi and take the mulligan.
