Best Option on KC Chiefs Roster: Dee Ford

Despite his underachiever status, Ford has most recently put up the best stats of any of the players I listed. Because of this, as of right now, Ford is leading the race to the empty chair Houston didn’t call seat check for.

Much of this determination is based mostly on the lack of knowledge on the full extent of productivity of players like Obada, Kieras, and Massaquoi. This is why, based on all actionable intelligence gathered, Ford is best suited to be the starter.

Next: Houston's replacement couldn't possibly be as bad as these Chiefs starters

This may very well change as more is learned, but, either way, losing Houston is going to sting next year. The KC Chiefs pass rush may suffer greatly next year, but thankfully their rush defense projects to maintain their high level of play.

Who do you think will be the starter at left outside linebacker next season for the KC Chiefs?

Is next year’s starter currently on the roster or will the KC Chiefs add another outside linebacker?
