sdrawkcab321 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Doesn’t it take 2 years to fully get back from an Achilles tear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrOaktown_56 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Let's see how this plays out. If the Chiefs sign some young DB's and draft well, it may pay off... Let's hope not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nex_Gen Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I think he's done. He'll sign somewhere and not make it out of training camp, then retire. Could have been a HOF'er if not for the injuries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's over 30, and we can't keep paying him $15M per year to not play. Shame how fast that great defense fell to age and injuries, though. Not long ago we had DJ, Berry, Peters, Houston, Hali, and Poe all playing at high levels. Berry and Houston had injuries, DJ and Hali aged, Poe was just beat down by playing time, and Peters....yeah. You could almost stock a pro bowl defense with that lineup. The talent was there, just had an awful DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kempus Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Tough decision, but 100% the correct one to make. Shedding the old, injury prone, massive earners. The D needed a full rebuild, that much was obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckweath Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Thank God. Him and Houston couldn't be released soon enough. Two guys who played hardball with John Dorsey to get monster contracts just to be vastly overpaid right after and hurt the team. And Houston wouldnt even take a pay cut when he had just had 2 years of being overpaid? GTFO. I will miss Ford. He was right in his prime, off a great season and seemed to have a great attitude. The Chiefs were never signing him long term though and that was the correct decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you feel if your boss asked you to take a pay cut because they decided to pay Sammy Watkins $16m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But look I am a fan and everything that hurts my team I hate and the opposite the same. That guy has been clearly overpaid for 2 years and he still wont take a pay cut when nobody would pay him that much. On top of that, he is 30 years old and we have seen tons of players fall off a cliff or clearly decline when turning 30. And he knows the Chiefs are going all in for a championship. I want him out of the door yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wanted some nice and fair contracts for them. But when you push and play hardball to get that monster contract and not even play for two years after or your play take a sharp decline in the case of Houston, I am not going to like you especially that my team is really tight on capspace. You know a Chiefs player who has been so reliable, always playing, always one of the best at his position and who is earning 6.5M on average? And that guy hasn't said a word about his contract. Mitchell Schwartz, the RT! I love him. Such a valuable player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle21121 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 A one year deal to one of the other 3 AFC West teams or the Browns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Just so people know its been reported he has a Haglunds Deformity. A bone spur is growing into his Achilles Tendon(opposite from the one he ruptured) it can be shaved off but youd have to detach the tendon and its basically an achilles tear. Or he can leave it and hes "day-to-day" with pain management. Which was his entire season last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
