DT was already declining in his last couple of seasons, and I doubt he had more than 2 productive years left when he passed.
I would guess he might have gotten around 15 more sacks in the next two seasons combined.

I was at work when I heard DT had died and I spent some time in a stall in the bathroom composing myself soon thereafter. I'm not ashamed.

He was.heading into his 11th or 12th year right? He probably would have played another 3 or 4 more years. We certainly could have used him during the Vermeil years.
Loved him as a player, but ill be honest.....dude was speeding during a snowstorm with no seatbelt. Stupid. Posted via Mobile Device |

Dad had the same thought. Said he thought maybe 2 more productive years, then would have probably lost a step or two.

I think about 3-4 years at most.

Being a speed rusher, I'm guessing his decline would have been fast.
But he was still one of the greatest and most iconic Chiefs of all time, and his victory lap would have been great to watch. The former ownership would have made it quite an event.

He would have had at least 3 years left.
Speaking of DT... Gonzo was going through his football cards last week and he found a rookie card. He didn't even know he had it. He also has a few signed cards that I got for him awhile back. |

I'd say three years more. A year and a half of that being an "impact" player. He probably would have ended with 140 career sacks, +/- a few.

I'm not sure any at all. He was already losing playing time and his production was way off. For some strange reason he voided his contract a couple weeks before the accident and even if he had played another year or two it may not have been as a Chief.

Yup, he had already lost a step, he wasn't going to be around too much longer.
