Even more incentive for Keim to take Bosa or make sure he goes #1.

 

[sunsfan88]

Jesus, imagine if Bosa drops to the Niners too...easily the best pass rush in the league and it’s not close.

This totally means we're drafting Murray!!

 

[DRM08]

Chiefs fans seem pretty happy to get rid of him after the offsides debacle against the Patriots. I don't think the KC front office trusts him to perform at the same level he did in 2018. Injury problems and lack of consistency during his career.

A 2020 second? Not this year's?!

Whoa. Now watch us draft Murray and watch him get obliterated on the field for his short career.

They're also getting $15m of cap space by dumping him. That's pretty big.

Yeah, but now they won't have a pass rush. What's gonna happen to that team? Just expect Berry and Mathieu to stand back there and make plays against guys who can count to 15 before getting touched? When the opposing team is going to be gunslinging to stop Mahomes?

Their sack leader Chris Jones (2nd team All-Pro) is still on the team

Who knows. Offseason isn't over. No way in hell they could justify cap hit of $36m for Houston/Ford. They can't really justify the $15m cap hit with Berry either. He has been worthless for two years.

One guy alone isn't the answer, though.

What?

It's more likely that they don't believe that Bosa will be available at #2.

 

[Finito]

Ford has been a 1 year wonder and that one year was his contract year hmmmm

There’s a reason KC is getting rid of him

The Chiefs led the league in sacks and their defense still sucked haha. It wasn’t about sacks. It was coaching.

 

[DRM08]

All of them combined got pretty much zero pressure on Brady in the AFC title game. I think they need better coverage and tackling. They are a total dumpster fire in those areas. Who knows if they'll be able to fix that anytime soon. They need to do a great job in the draft of course.

Isn't just Houston a free agent? And doesn't he trump Ford? Or did that change?

Well, the 1-year wonder got - 5 years $87.5m

No way, every FA signing means we're drafting Murray!!

Houston is a free agent now after they cut him due to his $20m cap hit. Houston is old as hell, starting to decline. Still a good player. I would pay him $10m per year, but not much more than that. Guess we will see if someone is desperate.

Ford is much younger, but he has injury history and lack of consistency. Niners are giving him $88m for 5 years, which seems like a pretty big risk given his career so far.

He turned on the motor when he wanted to. My family is from KC and witnessed it first hand. He’s getting paid. This is why you draft a guy like Bosa who has technique and knows only one gear

I see what you did there.

 

[Solar7]

One big thing about this is that it allows the 49ers to maneuver around the draft. Now none of the available players are major needs.

Throws a wrench in the argument from anyone that wants to move back.

Thx. He's old now? Crap. I must be getting old. I don't really follow the chiefs or much outside of the Cardinals in general. In my head he was an elite pass rusher and mid career.

He's still unsigned too.

He was elite. They gave him a huge contract based on a 22 sack season. He's been a 9-10 sack guy lately.
