We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.

I think that our high scoring offense kept teams playing from behind and led to significantly more passing plays, which in turn led to inflated pass rush stats.
It's not the whole story, Ford and Houston are both quality ball players. but might have played a significant factor. [Reply]

Oh, and while we're talking about ending drives, he forced 7 fumbles.
Ford's a !@#$ing good football player and if we trade him for less than a top 50 pick we'll be getting our asses kicked. If we trade him for less than a 1st we're barely breaking even.
The odds of us getting a player who provides a bigger impact to this team in 2019 with that draft pick are nominal. And while his 1-year outlay is higher than many would like, it's just one year and doesn't create long-term liabilities that can interfere with the ability to maintain this core.
Ford is a ballplayer and we shouldn't just hand-waive what he can do for us. He's developed exactly as you'd want to see a raw young pass-rusher develop and now he's the kind of person that influences defensive gameplans and entire ballgames.

Did you fuckers think we were going to get Watkins for 2 years on a peanut deal? WTF?
Had we not brought in Watkins, he would’ve been bitching about the lack of WR depth behind Hill... that’s the catch 22.
Without Watkins, I’m not sure KC wins the West last year and I don’t know if the AFCCG is even close. He was huge in that game. [Reply]

I'm not bitching, he is making 19 million this season and 22 if we were to cut him. He also can't stay healthy. Otherwise I love the pick up. That's just a shit ton of money to give him. [Reply]
