It’s a good thing that actions speak louder than words, because honestly, it’s hard to procure any real information out of most general managers these days. How does a team go about roster construction is a private question for every NFL franchise, which is why we’re left to read the tea leaves as to what a front office might be thinking about a particular player or position.
For the Kansas City Chiefs, their actions have been particularly loud this offseason on defense. A complete overhaul is being undertaken for new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, and general manager Brett Veach proved himself decisive with the release of both Justin Houston and Eric Berry to go along with an unexpected trade of Dee Ford to the San Francisco 49ers.
