Chiefs Open To Trading Dee Ford
6 years agoThe Kansas City Chiefs are open to trading pass-rusher Dee Ford despite placing the non-exclusive franchise tag on him on Monday. The thought is that Ford is a better fit for a 3-4 defense, but the Chiefs would be happy keeping him another year if a trade doesn't work out. It may only take a second-round pick to land the 27-year-old from the Chiefs. He'll cost $15.443 million in 2019 but the non-exclusive tender allows other teams to sign Ford to a long-term offer, but they'd then have to send two first-round picks to KC as compensation. Ford had a big year in 2018, tallying 13 sacks, seven forced fumbles and 55 tackles.
