Tag and trade Ford for a 2nd round pick and 2020 pick.
Houston takes a pay cut.
Trade a 2nd to the Vikings for Trae Waynes.
Draft Nassir Adderley at the bottom of the 1st round.
Draft Oshane Ximines, DE and Amani Oruwariye, CB in the 2nd round. [Reply]

That would be awesome. I'm not sure Oruwariye lasts that long though. [Reply]

Yeah...he'll probably go higher than that. Until then....I'll continue to dream about having a defense where I can't pronounce a player's name. [Reply]

And that's the rub. A bunch of us want to trade for Howard...or Ramsey...or Peterson. Two of those are going to require a new deal and the other one is going to get here and already be getting paid a bunch of money. [Reply]

$14M of which will be tied up in Ford until he's traded or signed. There's a very good chance neither happens, at least not quickly, so now they have $10M. [Reply]

Some of you really underestimate how far cap dollars go and how Reid/Veach look at 3 year windows in terms of the cap. KC uses signing bonuses to lower the first year cap hit significantly and they tried to sign Kyle Fuller last year and also tried trading for Landon Collins during the season.
You are underestimating the significance of the moves Veach is going to make to bolster this roster. [Reply]

If I traded for Ramsey, I wouldn't worry about a long term deal for a while.
You'd have him for a year on his current deal, the 5th year option, then a tag.
Then you could let him walk and get the pick for him or tag and trade him. [Reply]
