I’d say they keep Ford, cut Houston, sign a veteran insurance policy such as Shane Ray, and draft an edge rusher early if the opportunity is right.
If not, again, you sign a veteran to protect against it such as Ray or someone else. |

Ford has been healthy and productive one season...one. His contract year. He's a liability against the run too. Fords r
Trade value wouldn't be higher than this year. Houston has injury concerns as well and hasn t performed to his contract since he got paid. I don't care hat the Chiefs do with either one....renegotiate, re-sign or trade for the best deal. Don't care. |

Because that is what some of you are expecting others team to do with Ford. The 16th pick is work 1000 points. That is the same as the deal I just proposed for the Chiefs. I think chief fans are a little overly-optimistic about the realistic return for ford. I personally don't think they are getting a 1st for him and I doubt they get a 2nd for him. All of this is really about speculating that you get a high round draft pick for him. What if they tag him and he signs and then the best offer is a 3rd? |

I don't think ford is worth the 16 or 17 by himself. |

And Sauto, I wasn't aiming that post at you. I just think some people are pretty optimistic about the return for Ford and are going to be disappointed. I can't imagine a fanbase being excited to trade a 1st or high 2nd for Ford and then turn around and give him a record deal.

Pretty sure they can hit him with a transition tag which allows other teams to match the offer of the tag to get him if not the team he’s with is stuck with it. If they tag him out right and trade him he will negotiate a new deal most likely but don’t think the Chiefs are on the hook for shit. |

Here's the trouble from my POV:
- As soon as Ford is tagged, his tag number ($15-16 million) automatically counts against the 2019 salary cap, signed or not. - Houston's cap number is $21 million, and the Chiefs would incur a $7.1 million hit in dead money with his release, but free up $14 million in cap space - this $14 million almost accounts for Ford's 2019 salary/cap hit. - I get the notion of getting a high pick for Ford if he can be traded, BUT: i) The longer a trade takes to develop, the longer you are hampered with Ford's cap number counting against the salary cap - this is a problem as all teams want as much cap/money available at the start of free agency. ii) Ford can wait quite a while to sign if he wants, hampering the Chiefs ability to acquire free agents, or if he does not desire a rumored/negotiated trade. iii) You have to be sure you are getting fair value in a Ford trade: teams know that waiting a bit on trading for a tagged Ford can/will bring down the trade value. Teams will apply pressure on the cap-strapped Chiefs in any trade talks as they know his cap hit applies the moment he is tagged. This is the greater reason why we are likely hearing of a Ford tag/retention, Houston release - the Chiefs need $$$$$$ at the start of free agency, and don't want to be left standing on the outside while players sign deals elsewhere. The Chiefs cap flexibility is a delicate balance given the circumstances of the big contracts (Ford/Houston/Berry). |

He's the most talented pure pass rusher available. he's going to be sought after. I think it more likely that teams are competing to nab him than ignoring and waiting. You have some cap money early-until you get all your own guys done and draftees signed. They literally have enough money right at the start of FA to sign a Landon Collins; you just have other bills you need to pay so you can't unless there's cap relief elsewhere. You've got plenty of time before those bills are due. You've got $25 million or so right now; you just need a bunch of that before camp. you could sign a couple of guys and wait on some other things, like extending players. You can shop, talk, and negotiate with players; you don't have to wait for Ford's deal to be done to do anything but sign on the dotted line if it's more than you've got at that moment under the cap. Again, I think that'll be sooner than later as long as he clear's a team's physical. Hell, if you have questions, a team with cap room can play him on the tag themselves and see if he's worth re-signing next year. Cutting Houston almost pays for Ford as long as you don't consider the $7 million in dead cap money. It's literally cheaper to pay Houston and tag-and-trade Ford-and if you count NEXT YEAR's cap, it's a LOT cheaper. Which Veach has to take into account. Keeping Ford and cutting Houston costs $24 million on this year's cap. Keeping Houston and trading Ford costs $21 million plus whatever pick you get from Ford. And next year, you can cut Houston for $1.5 million against the cap. Next year, if you re-sign Ford it's going to be more like Houston's $21 million IF HE BALLS OUT. If he doesn't, it was all for naught. I get what you're saying, I just think it's literally the better fiscal move. And I think the team is better with a well rounded player there. |
