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.

That's a part of it. Going along with that, Veach needs some cap room for FAs, rookies and to negotiate Hill and Jones to longer contracts. He wants to do that now so we we can get Mahomes his contract next year.
Another part is that we get something and don't just let Ford go.
And another part is that contracts are intended to pay players for future production. Ford has one great year in the last 5. He's been injured or mediocre in several other years. I get the impression that Veach just doesn't trust Ford to produce over the long run given his history. [Reply]
