we didn't draft ford to put pressure on houston. we drafted him to replace hali who will not be back after this season. and dee ford had something like 29 tackles the entire season last year. the odds of him being just a guy are pretty damn high.
no need to extend houston right now?
the dude just had 11 sacks in 11 games in the N F L. he is, aside from jamaal, the best player on this team. he's 25. he plays a premium position. there are maybe 4 or 5 other guys in the entire league with his skillset. maybe.
the only talking point the chiefs have, is that he missed 5 games. they only have a smidge of bargaining power right now, because he didn't stay healthy. if he plays all 16 game next season and has 15+ sacks, he is going to absolutely bend us over at the negotiating table.
sign him now you idiots.
