Agreed. Only reason I didn't just put him there is maybe Kpassagnon can salvage what is left of his career and be solid there.

Trade them Ford, then.

Wut? I guess we're just gutting the coaching staff, then.

Imagine if everyone gets canned.....except Britt Reid. :-)

Should’ve gone with Rex Ryan. He produced every single year. With two teams.

This guy has a very similar track record to Sutton. Both have had terrible results when they didn’t have exceptional talent.

If nothing else, this hire has ensured an entertaining offseason around here

The hot takes are flowing like lava, devouring everything in their path

Bitter enemies are being made before our eyes

This agitation shall sustain and nourish us

So our only good defensive coach from last year has left? Great...

New Orleans first rounder would be awesome. Gives us 29 and 30.

CP has burst again.

Ford's just gonna be so expensive for a 2nd and long and 3rd down player.
He's a part of the problem with our run defense. I'd be real surprised if he's still here. I seriously think the plan was to move on from him, and then he went and had his best season. I'd still do so, there won't be many edge rushers with those sack numbers available, and i bet someone with a bunch of cap space would pay him. We'll take the 2nd, thank you, and sign Brandon Graham for less than half of Ford's tag number. He can stop-gap for a season or two until the next group are ready.

Also, don't count out Kpass, who should've been a DE all along. Just because they wouldn't play him due to his poor coverage skills doesn't mean he's a washout. Let's see. But I agree I wouldn't bank on it.

I'm pretty sure Hamas and staylor haven't gotten along going back quite a ways.

Only a shitty deal if he doesn't perform up to snuff. It's still a significantly reduced contract and if he can make any kind of impact, it's really not that expensive for a starting DE. You can backload the contract so that you can only pay Houston the back years if he performs throughout the contract. I think it's worth it to create some stability during the 4-3 transition.

OMG :-)

You fucking guys. I mean jesus

Fuck this board is bi-polar.

A position coach leaves from the worst defense in the NFL and pitchforks are out.
Same position coach was “rumored” to be considered for the DC job but the fans screamed “Fuck no”.

JFC.
