How can our defense suck so badly when we are spending 98m on that side of the ball? |

Assume everyone on defense is playing how they're being paid. You'd have an elite pass rusher and run stopper in Clark and a really good MLB in Hitchens. Already, the defense would be much improved. |

I should preface what I wrote above by saying it goes both ways. Based on the cap hits for veterans, Kelce should be worse than Hitchens and Watkins should be almost as important as Hill. The salary cap doesn't always tell the story. Sometimes key players get paid less than what you'd assume relative to other players on the roster. |

I'd trade Clark after this season...not sure who'd bite given his contract amount, but at very minimum I'd be willing to strongly consider trade offers.
Clark's being paid to rush/sack the QB...and he's just not effective enough in that area considering his salary, not by a long shot. Dude looks slow, lethargic off the snap, can't bend around the edge and is getting pushed out of plays a lot. Who knows...maybe this is like last season where the defense finally picks it up the last 7-8 games of the season, but I'm just not seeing it this season. Last season was year 1 into Spag's system so at least learning tricks of the trade in a new system could pass off as an excuse. The defensive unit should be more than comfortable with it at this stage, week 12 in year 2 under Spags, esp the veterans on this team. No excuses to be this bad. |

Frank Clark, Chris Jones and Tyrann Matheiu have not played up to their billing this season.
They’ve all underperformed and straight up disappeared for quite a few games |

We have approx. 10m in dead money on defense. Berry is still counting 8million against us. 1million in dead money on offense. Special teams has a million or so too. 13m total dead money. Chris Jones also moves up to 21m and Frank Clark up to a 25m cap number. Next year is the last year of Fisher's contract. |

That said, this defense is ranked 15th in yards allowed in 2020. 8th in passing yards allowed and 26th in rushing yards. Tied for 7th in turnovers. They're middle of the pack. That's what everyone was asking for in 2018. They don't have the horses on paper to be much better. |

Frank Clark Chris Jones and Hitchens are well worth the money we paid them they helped win us a Super Bowl and they can help win us more Super Bowls.
Teams are really gunning for the Chiefs that's just the way it is when you are the Champions. |
