They came ready to play in the first half and we just flat didn't. The moment was finally too big for them. It happens but I'll be damned if I thought we might avoid it. Turns out Mahomes was still damn near good enough to pull us out of it but the bottom line is that you can't spot a championship caliber opponent an entire half and hope to win unless you're as battle tested as they are. The Chiefs could MAYBE have held on there if they were 3 years further down the road with some of these young guys but they simply could not do that when they were spotting so much big-game experience as well. ****ing Ford. What a vapor lock. |

The main reason I’m most down with tag and trade now is I don’t have faith in him to stay healthy again next year. But I’d want an earlier 2nd round pick minimum.

Tag and trade.
Spend the money elsewhere. Add some high value picks. Get a more well-rounded player who makes the defense less predictable. Ford is a one-trick pony who is a huge liability against the run and is a core problem of the run D weakness. |

I was initially down with a 1-year tag. Now even that looks shit ass expensive, though it's certainly possible in the two or so years before Mahomes starts to take up a significant portion of the cap.
Do NOT give him a longterm deal. I'm fine with tagging and signing or tagging and trading. But it's one year only. |

I'm tending more towards the tag and trade the more and more I think it through. I don't think you can justify just letting him walk away though. Gotta get a return better than a 3rd next year and that's only IF the Chiefs don't sign another free agent that wipes him out. I'd prefer Preston Smith here. He plays the run really well and generates a ton of pressure on the QB, even if his sacks total doesn't seem to indicate it.

tag and trade. He's so one dimensional as to be a liability in anything other than rushing the passer. You need to have more versatility than that I think in this NFL.

Tag and trade he's a one dimensional player with a bad back -read where the Browns and Jets where interested.

well, this is all moot now. 4-3 has no position for Ford. Tag and trade.

How does the Tag and Trade thing work? Do they negotiate a contract first?
