No Name Defense


With the Chiefs open for business regarding both Justin Houston and Dee Ford, it appears that the Chiefs are following the Bill Belichick model of trading defensive stars before a lucrative contract extension. Jamie Collins, Lawyer Malloy, Richard Seymour, Ty Law are just a few recent names. There are examples on offense too.

The reliance on great coaching and a superstar QB augmented with tons of young and cheap athletic talent seems to work well and the Chiefs clearly are following that model.

Bill pays Brady, Gronk, and a few others near the market and the rest of the players are paid but certainly not at the top of the position comparables. It is a proven model.

It looks like Veach is modeling his decision making in the same mold. Berry will be gone soon, Houston and Ford this year. Morse at center can easily be replaced given our superior coaching at the offensive line position.

When you have a Hall of Fame Coach and a probable Hall of Fame QB this model works. Look for the Chiefs to surround Mahomes with stars and for the defense to be young, long, athletic and attacking.
