This again? It's not happening.

Anyhow, another issue with Dee Ford is he'll probably file a grievance to be tagged like a DE with the base change and will probably get it. Going off the projected tag numbers I've seen for 2019, his cap hit will be 17.3 million.

The Chiefs cap space will be basically non-existent if they keep both Houston and Ford on the tag. I think at least one of them will be in a different uniform this season.

says you and like one other guy here on this board and not one single person anywhere in any media outlet, be it ESPN or any podcast or in any print media who have discussed the situation.

NOBODY, not a single person anywhere has said a word about Berry not being able to be cut due to the haglund's heel situation.

So until SOMEONE DOES, somebody, somewhere, who's job it is to cover such things, I think it's fair game for speculation.

It’s a HUGE dropoff to go from Houston and Ford to a Vinny Curry/Speaks/rookie combination. Like big enough to probably wipe away any Super Bowl aspirations.

Gotta keep one of them IMO until you have more sure things behind them on the depth chart.

well, I think if you let both go, you can get say...close to Houston level production but from a proper proven vet DE for less than you'd have to pay Ford. So rather than a Vinny Curry type in that situation I'd be looking at another level up at DE, but an older vet, probably past their huge money days but still effective.

At any rate, if Houston's agent is saying they won't restructure, then he's just gone period. You can't pay him $21 million.

Ford on the tag is real expensive when he's such a liability against the run, but so be it.

What part of this is not clear to you?

“He already has almost $3 million of his 2019 base salary fully guaranteed. The amount fully guaranteed will increase to $10.2 million on March 15th, which is the third day of the league year. Now... it’s already injury-guaranteed to $10.2 million

He's not going to pass a physical before the 15th of next Month and they would save practically nothing, even with a June 1st designation, once that guarantee kicks in. Give it a ****ing rest already.

Not going to pass a physical? He played in the AFCCG and has not opted for surgery to this point.

He passed a physical to play in the last game and didn't leave the game with an injury. Not our fault if he can't pass now
