2019 Free agency Thread
We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research. https://overthecap.com/ |

In 2014, he couldn't get significant snaps because he was getting abused. No lower body strength or leverage because of a knee injury that held him out of the combine. He finally got action in back-to-back games in December of his rookie season. In 2015, he started slow and then got hurt, missed a couple of games and came back strong with a 3 sack game late in the season. In 2016, he missed the season opener and then opened up with 10 sacks in the next 8 weeks. And then he notched zero sacks the rest of the season. In 2017, he had 3 different injuries. Played in 3 games, missed two, played 3 more, and then 10 weeks on IR. In 2018, he missed key late game snaps against Denver due to an injury that held him out of the 2nd half against San Francisco. His college tape looks nearly identical. Streaky, always hurt. |

Yup Ford has a history of back issues. No complaining like ya'll did with Berry when he gets paid and misses games.

If he gets hurt and misses some time, as long as its not extended, you can deal with it.
If he misses 5 or 6 games, yeah, that's not good. Difference with him and Berry is that you aren't tied to him long term. |

You're basically building your defense around Dee Ford for 2019. |

You also have $3M almost of cap space lost to accelerators or bonuses on 4 or 5 players. Rookie cap. When it comes down to it, the Chiefs don't have very much cap space at all, even if they cut Houston. |

That alone gets you however much space you would need to sign a guy or two. I dont' think they need to be big spenders in free agency anyway so I'd take one decent singing and be done with it. I'd much rather look at trading picks for current players than free agency TBH> |

If he does that and they can flip Ford for a high draft pick, I wouldn’t bitch. Yeah I’d choose Ford over Houston, but let’s be honest here: both of these guys aren’t going to be here in 2020 anyway.

Ford is not getting traded.
Houston will take a paycut or be cut. It's simples. |

They're going to cut anybody who isn't producing to their cap hit and give it all to a guy that hasn't proven he can stay healthy. That's brilliant.
