I'm not that confident Ballard would pursue Ford.  He's got a thing about the size of his DE.  And then when you add a fat pay check to that and inconsistent production I don't know.  That Dallas staff never had DE under 6"3" and we don't have any on this team.  The only one we've had south of 6'3" was Wimbush and he was practice squad material.   KC is switching to a 4-3 under Spagnolo so if they are considering letting him walk that says something to me about scheme fit.  I'm not sure how good his run D is but I know KC in general was terrible all across that DL when it came to defending the run.

I would love to add Dee Ford, he would be a huge addition to our team. 

He would be but, heaven forbid, we might have to pay him to get him. Or pay Flowers or Clark or Jarett.  This board will go crazy if we pay a big contract to a FA.  Pay market value?  Maybe set a new market?  No way.   A great majority would rather let them go to another team and rather bring on the second tier guys.  We have to save that Cap.  We can't "over pay" whatever that means.  Can't have that.   I will LOL if Ballard does pay one of the top FA's.  I hope he does for the team's sake and it will also make for great reading when it happens.  FA can't come fast enough for me.

People keep saying "it's not Ballard's style!" when in reality we reached out to several, they just didn't wanna play for what, at the time, appeared to be a dumpster fire. Ballard has made it clear that if he feels the locker room has reached a level of cohesion great enough to withstand a bigger ego, then at that point in time he would entertain that idea. Well boys...it's about that time.

  Chiefs | Dee Ford expected to be tagged    Sat Feb 16, 07:32 PM

Kansas City Chiefs impending free-agent LB Dee Ford likely will receive the franchise tag this offseason.

Footballguys view: Ford is not against playing on the franchise tag in 2019, telling NFL.com earlier this year "That's out of my control. If it happens, it happens, and I don't mind it." He could have an even larger payday in 2020 if he continues to perform at a high level this season. Either way, we don't expect Ford to go anywhere this offseason.

Boo. I think you could change the name in that story to a few other guys. Going to be a common theme over the next few weeks.

I think it's going to be Flowers and Fowler JR. getting free.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed Ballard signs Robert Quinn after he is released.  I think he and Flowers would be great additions.

      Would you be ok with this move?

      By ProblChld32 · Posted

      As it stands the Eagles are pretty loaded with CBs at the moment after picking up Rodgers then drafting both Quinyon and Cooper in the draft. There have been rumblings of them potentially preparing to move Bradberry. They are currently in need of another WR, so the question I pose is would you be ok with trading Alec to Philly in exchange for Bradberry? Or do you think they should let the current CBs on the roster battle it out? Keep in mind Bradberry is approaching 31 years of age.

      Wide Receivers are getting paid!

      By NFLfan · Posted

      Exactly. I wanted the Vikes to trade Jefferson. I think being careful not to overpay is important in football. I guess that is why I like Ballard. He does not jump and pay the shiniest free agent all this money. He believes in rewarding his own players.   The only reason I would pay Jefferson is because he has been in our organization and we know him. I prefer paying players who have been with the team and have been good players and good citizens (stays out of trouble, are team players, etc.)

      It is but as the guys reporting this said Pierce was the only one of the top four WRs working with special teams and not something he’s done in the past.  Like I said it’s early indication,  it can clearly change.

      Tatum is a great player but Doncic is better. Both teams basically will have a week off and should come in healthy so there really can't be any excuses for the losing team. Unless a key player gets injured during the series. I still like Dallas in 6. If I am wrong I will be here and tip my cap to you, and say I was wrong.   Regarding football, if you look my top 5 QBs of all-time, I have Brady #1 and I am a diehard Colts fan. I have Brady 1, Montana 2, Peyton 3, Mahomes 4, Unitas 5. The League MVP is the 2nd best thing a QB can win, only winning the Championship is better. So I put a lot of weight on League MVPs. Peyton is top 5 at worse just because of that alone combined with winning 2 Championships. At the end of the year, if a QB doesn't win the Championship, but wins League MVP, most say, he still at least won MVP and was the best player the whole regular season.
