I'm never a fan of loading up on mutt trash, but I guess anyone will do if they're the right price.

He's listed as 260 pounds. To me, that's a little light for a DE in a 4 - 3.

This would speak to the scheme change coming with Spags.
If he has fully recovered from the ACL and hasn't broken something else in the meantime, he is a guy who could be very effective in a hybrid front (like the Amoeba Swim With Plunger System, for example). He was doing those sorts of things when he slated the double-digit sacks. FAX |

Can you imagine how few players we'd be looking at if we eliminated anyone with an ACL in their past?

Didnt Wilkes run a 43 in Arizona when Golden recorded 2.5 sacks?

So he got an ACL fixed and only got 2.5 sacks in 2/3rds of a season coming back. That tells me that rehab and rust has been rubbed off and he's ready to go back to work. Also tells me he's about half as likely to tear an ACL again since 1 has already been fixed when compared to someone who hasn't torn any. Had DF production in 2016 so some ability must be there.

Well the Chiefs need someone...Can't go into the season relying on Speaks/KPass to get to the QB for this defense.
Chiefs will need to make a couple more splashes in the secondary, whether thats in FA or hitting a HR in the draft because they're not getting to the QB this yr and they'll have to weather that storm...it's going to be a D rebuild of at least 2 yrs.

I don't think people here at CP are giving enough credit for stealing NE's DL coach. He has been making something out of nothing for years for BB and I think if anyone can create a DL that's serviceable to good its him.
Spags is known for being good with the secondary so I guess I'm a slightly optimistic cynical realist this year.

Right.
Year 1 - part time starter, 4 sacks Year 2 - part time starter, 12.5 sacks Year 3 - hurt Year 4 - recovering from being hurt, still started 11 games and notched 2.5 sacks As opposed to Ford: Year 1 - full time backup 1.5 sacks Year 2 - part time starter, 4 sacks Year 3 - 10 sacks Year 4 - hurt He's almost a carbon copy of Dee Ford, minus Ford's rookie year and Ford's 2018 season. He's probably ready to break out this year and could be had for a fraction of what Ford got paid. It's exactly the type of move the Chiefs SHOULD make. |

Giving massive contracts to older players with an injury history: dumb and shortsighted
Signing players who were recently injured at lower rates, hoping that they can provide more value than their cap number/salary: extremely smart Veach is doing the latter.

Bingo. And it's possible this is just how veach wants to rebuild quickly. We may not use this same approach three years from now when our defense has hopefully hit its stride.
