Five takeaways from the departures of Dee Ford, Justin Houston and Eric Berry

It’s been a rough week in some regard for Chiefs fans across the country. They were forced to say goodbye to critical pieces of not only last year’s team but also stars of the last generation.

The Chiefs released Justin Houston on Sunday, traded Dee Ford on Tuesday and bid farewell to the beloved Eric Berry on Wednesday. The Chiefs ripped the band-aid off and are hitting a complete reset on defense under new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.

The moves tell us a lot about the realities of this offseason and what it means for next season and beyond.
