More trade news: The #Chiefs are deep in talks with the #49ers on a trade for star pass-rusher Dee Ford, sources say. Things have escalated and this could get done by the end of the night. Ford needs to work out a new contract with SF, which is a big piece of this.

Honey Badger is a good player, but he's one guy. That defense needs a hell of a lot more than just one guy, especially after you dump two good pass rushers. I'd rather spend that $14m on a couple of solid players instead of one big name player.

Solid players are getting stupid money this offseason. Might as well spend extra to get the premium players. [Reply]
"The main criticism is that Thomas was viewed by many as a one-dimensional linebacker, believed to be a liability in both pass coverage and run support."
Seems questionable that the only value added for next season (i.e. a Super Bowl or bust season) that the Chiefs got in this trade is freeing up the cap space that would have gone to Dee Ford on the franchise tag. [Reply]

Free agency hasn’t even officially started and the draft is next month. Can your dumbass give this franchise a chance to build the defense and quit criticizing them for getting rid of the player THAT KEPT US OUT OF THE SUPER BOWL [Reply]
