If there is going to be a work stoppage in two years, ie a major reworking of the collective bargaining agreement, then the smart move is to make short term agreements to win now, while also making moves to flush some major contracts.
This actually sets cup well for the Chiefs.
To win now the Chiefs keep guys like Houston, Ford and Berry for the near term. Basically we are bringing them both back for 2020 only, much easier to walk away from both after next season. You also tag Ford, again a one year deal is perfect, especially if teams are not going to be handing out multi year deals.
Tagging Ford and keeping Berry and Houston for 2020 not only helps the Chiefs "win now" but I think it also makes the most financial sense.
