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.

Good riddance.
Also while lining up offsides at least twice and not getting called.

Nothing at all to do with it.
260-pound guys play DE in college all the time. Not all of them miss almost 2 full seasons in 5 years with back and knee injuries. (Yeah, 5 years. He missed so many games he got a medical redshirt.)
The dude was literally ALWAYS hurt, starting way before wear and tear set in. [Reply]

Yep. I'm highly doubtful that Schwartz will ever look the same again. He might be able to pull it together for a series of games here and there, but his All Pro days are done. [Reply]
