And why is he due another season ending injury? Because that happened last year but not any of the other 5? I am confused by that statement of yours.
Dee Ford tied JJ Watt for most forced fumbles; beat Mack, TJ Watt, and Houston. I don't have strong feelings about Ford one way or another, but it is clear he is a playmaker on a defense that was lacking them. Can he get better still? Yes, and I think he will, especially now that the Chiefs fired Sutton. I don't think you or others have accounted for how shitty Sutton was at coaching. Not just in games but overall. It is clear this team has no idea how to tackle, and it is clear the LBs had no idea what was going on most of the time. I would say it is a miracle Ford and Houston managed the season they each had.

Dee Ford has missed at least one game in every season except one since his sophomore year of college. He's had 3 knee injuries, 3 back injuries, and 2 back surgeries. Since his sophomore year of college, he's missed more than half a season 3 times and been on IR twice in 5 years in the NFL.
Why would you pay a guy like that? The best ability is AVAILABILITY.
