Dee Ford getting hurt while on the franchise tag absolutely has a big and very detrimental effect on the Chiefs. It very well could be the difference between a Super Bowl and none because keeping Dee Ford prevents you from acquiring other players.
If you let Dee Ford go, there are dozens of scenarios where the team gets along just fine without him.
If you keep him, there is really only one acceptable scenario - he repeats his 2018 performance. Anything less is a failure.
Look at it from an insurance, or betting, perspective. One is a MUCH better bet than the other, in terms of potential outcomes. It's not always about potential gains, sometimes it's about minimizing losses.
