If the market is DESPERATE for edge talent, then you absolutely tag and trade Ford. If they're desperate, we'll snag a #1 for him.

Then you just choke down Houston's big fat $21 million and you put him at RDE, where he'll certainly be a double digit sack guy as long as he's healthy enough to play.

Better draft an edge early though, to rotate and spell Houston when he takes his usual 4 or 5 game break mid-season. (I'm not saying he's dogging it, I just find it frustrating.)

That's not the way it's going to go. Obviously

I don’t think it’s really worth discussing trading ford at this point. All signs point to the tag atleast

Unless they get a good offer they’ll keep him a year

No
Yes lol

Yeah. I like to be a little realistic. But my guy kinda keeps me grounded

Sure. If I'm Veach I float it out that Ford is yours for a 1st and see who, if anyone, bites.

Plus, paying him is a lot different than paying Ford. You’re talking a one year deal as opposed to probably 5 years for Flowers.

well, in 3 years that deal would look pretty sweet as long as he's healthy. the cap'll go up and FA DE's will be getting paid more.

I get it's serious money, but you want to lock up good young talent as soon as you can.

I don't think Ford is worth the risk; and best case scenario is we're in the same spot next year and he's even more expensive.

Only guy on that defense I'd pay big bucks for right now is Jones. Everyone else is an expendable asset.

But jones seems like an effort (or lack of ) guy

I can’t personally approve of paying Flowers like a star pass rusher at any time, I don’t think he is one. And the fact that he played in NE, and BB doesn’t appear to be making an effort to keep him—that scares me. You don’t know how those guys will translate considering he wasn’t a prized commodity in the draft.

I saw less of that last year.

Thing with him is, he's an unusual talent. There's only a couple of guys in the league at DT that can do the things he can do.

I guess it is fun to talk about Flowers but the only FA that is coming to KC on a multi year deal is a safety.

That’s the problem. He hasn’t been that guy ever since he got paid.

Also..if Belichick won’t even give Flowers the tag, no less extend the motherfucker, isn’t that a red flag?

Considering steadman and stram are dead, none in theory.

Guess we just trade mahomes and be done with it?
