It helps to have good players on cheap contracts. We all can agree on that, right? It’s very important for this team to be able to field another EDGE rusher on a rookie deal. The current franchise tag for a 3-4 Outside Linebacker is $14.96 million, which is just barely behind cornerback for third highest. With Dee Ford set to hit the market in 2019, Justin Houston getting older (and still expensive), and some unsure depth on the roster, most Chiefs fans are looking toward Tanoh Kpassagnon and Breeland Speaks to contribute and hopefully fill a spot going forward.
