Justin Houston’s time in Kansas City is all but over. Dee Ford has been tagged but could be dealt. If neither player is in a Chiefs uniform when the 2019 season kicks off, it will mean the front office willingly sent packing two of the biggest reasons for the team’s lone defensive bright spot in 2018.
You know what? I’m fine with that. There’s a certain perception among some that it’d be foolish to essentially hit the reset button on the only good thing about the Chiefs’ defense, but even an elite pass rush couldn’t elevate K.
