The cap exploding and the amount of money some of these teams have are just gonna make it really damn hard for good teams that spend to sign them. We're gonna start seeing a lot of these guys sign with these shit teams that have piles of money. So with that, it's gonna be hard to find a pass rusher on the market that you don't have to pay a shit load too. |

If you keep Houston at his cap hit of $21 million and Ford at his franchise tag cost of $16 million......that means we'd have the #1 and #4 cap hits for 4-3 DEs next year.

Chiefs are in a solid spot if they want to go that route. |

Graham + Jaylon Ferguson looks like a pretty good RDE situation, and will be considerably cheaper and with a future than Ford's $16 tag. |

There will be a ton of teams interested. Chiefs should sell high I’d say. They aren’t keeping him long term anyways. This isn’t like 2014 Houston, Von Miller, or Mack. Those guys you extend long term. They’re a force at all times. But with Ford, they could potentially sell high on a guy that isn’t going to be worth the long term deal to begin with. |

With a solid offseason, I'll be absolutely shocked if this defense isn't better than the one we had in 2017 when we were 15th in defensive ppg.

If Joel Corry’s estimations are correct, and I assume they probably are since he’s a cap guy, we are sitting at around $26.5M in cap room before any moves are made. If they tag Ford, that’s instantly reduced to around $10.2M before even factoring in the draft class and extra space they’d like to have headed into the season.
Barring some pay cuts/restructures, a Ford tag isn’t even feasible. |

Instead of lining up offsides imagine he gets a sack-fumble on that play to win the game.
Rather than calling for his release, everyone on here would be clamoring to sign him long term. What a difference one play can make. |

It's basically Ford or Houston. Cutting Houston would free up essentially the exact number of a Ford franchise tag |

You either get better or worse. Keeping the same guys makes us worse in my book. Cut the fat contracts and spend the money elsewhere. Ford too expensive. Houston too expensive and Berry to expensive. Cut them as you can and save what you can for other players.
