The Kansas City Chiefs have made a significant amount of changes to their defense this off-season following the signing of defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. Between the changes in the defensive scheme and culture to finding ways to better manage the salary cap, the Chiefs are moving in a new direction in 2019.
Cutting ties to former edge rushers Justin Houston and Dee Ford is one of the biggest topics of the off-season. Many suspected that the team would move on from one, but not both. So far, Kansas City has only brought in one new defensive end to replace those edge rushers and that is former New Orleans Saints defensive end Alex Okafor.
