Chiefs Chiefs hire Steve Spagnuolo as new defensive coordinator - Page 160

I am calling it now.

uhhhh....35 TD's is nowhere near mediocre.

A decent defense could mean fewer TD passes and more running the ball, protecting big leads in the second half.

At any rate, it's not really realistic to expect Pat to put of 50 every year, I mean he's only the 3rd guy ever to do it period in the first place.

The #Chiefs are expected to franchise tag Dee Ford, keeping a talented rusher in the building, as they work through acquisition scenarios for their new 4-3 defense. @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/O3uRr69hTQ

I mean, thanks Tom. But that's been expected all along.

I hear they're trying to make him a coach.

For weeks, this was the expected move for the Chiefs, who really value Dee Ford & what he accomplished last season. Ford also anticipated this decision after the season ended. https://t.co/ie3YHkvVij

In the video they say the Chiefs Defensive staff was finalized last week. Wondering why nothing official has come from the Chiefs.

The franchise record was 30, which stood forever. CP never fails to entertain.

Probably because if Spags has a conference he has to say what they expect Dee Ford to be in his new scheme. If he says DE the Chiefs have to pay him $2m more.

The #Chiefs are going to be paying Dee Ford approximately $15.8 million on the tag. If they release Justin Houston, as is the likely outcome, they save $14 million.

In terms of cap space, they lose $1.8M under that scenario, leaving about $25M to pay draft class, free agents

Or get rid of Ford and we have 15.8 million more

So this is the third time I have heard that the Chiefs are trying to figure out what to do with Justin Houston and Eric Berry since our season ended. First it was from Mellinger, then Rappoport and now Pelissero.

Something is happening with these guys. Idk what, but there�s too much smoke to think otherwise.

I'd imagine they'll go to them and ask about a restructure or lowering their money or they'll cut them.

Easier to do with Houston for sure.

Dee Ford is going to end up getting over $17M, he's a defensive end now.

As for the cap space, you factor in PPE and bonuses and another $3M disappears. $4-5M for rookies. Sign Tyreek Hill and Chris Jones and the rest of it is gone.

They're not signing any marquis free agents. They don't have any money to do so.
