I think now is a good time to trade him. Trade Ford for a really good corner or safety. Do it now while his value is high and given that passrushers are a premium in this league and I think there will be a few teams that will covet him. Will the Chiefs do it? Im not so sure.
But if they did, I wouldn’t be opposed to that at all.
They’re gonna transition to a 4-3 anyway. My logical choices for players to depend on to rush the passer in the 4-3 under would Houston and Jones. But Houston is injury prone so it may be wise to draft for DE depth? Sorry to drift a bit off topic here but I think they can afford to trade Ford. They could sacrifice a bit of passrush for some secondary help. Sometimes you gotta give up something to get something.

I agree fully.
Let's be brutally honest. When we picked up this kid, we were expecting pressures and sacks galore. Everything about Dee Ford's skill set and measurables had us thinking that we were getting DT Jr. WITH THE EXCEPTION...that we would probably be lucky to get about 1/2 of that level of output overall because DT is, well, DT.
And we didn't even get that. I know injuries have played a part, but they have played TOO much a part, and I'm just not comfortable extending this player.
