The Chiefs tagged linebacker Dee Ford with a thought toward possibly trading him. And there’s apparently interest in trading for him.Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Packers and 49ers have expressed interest in trading for Ford.Trading a franchise-tagged player entails several steps. Before any trade can be accomplished Juan Thornhill Jersey Mens , the player needs to sign the franchise tender. Given that Ford may be plotting an attack on the decision to tag him as an outside linebacker and not a defensive end, he may not be inclined to do that.If, of course, the Packers or 49ers (or whoever trades for him) would be offering the kind of long-term deal that Ford would find to be suitable Bashaud Breeland Jersey , a possible fight over the franchise tag would become secondary to cashing in.Then there’s the fact that the draft consists of plenty of great pass rushers. Given the rookie wage scale, it could make more sense to roll the dice on a young player over paying Ford a ton of money.However it plays out, Ford will have plenty of influence over what happens next, with the ability to prevent a trade by refusing to sign the tender and/or by making it clear that he won’t be signing a long-term deal before the July 15 deadline for doing so.

Derrick Nnadi and Xavier Williams are a solid rotation on the interior — but both are more one-tech (nose tackle) types that excel as run defenders but not pass rushers. Justin Hamilton provides a bit more dynamic ability off the snap, but is still better-suited as a run defender; he isn’t the most agile player laterally. The need is for an interior rusher to spell Jones — who is playing ~70% of the snaps at the high end — and even to pair with him on pure passing downs is paramount.Enter Trysten Hill.Hill is a player who is not yet technically refined Dustin Colquitt Jersey , and he doesn’t yet have the quickest processing. But what he can provide is a dynamic ability to play behind the line of scrimmage. His first step is explosive, and he works linearly and laterally equally well. His ability to reset his gap and cross the face of a blocker — while still getting penetration — is unique for a guy who looks like he might be a late Day 2 or early Day 3 pick. Early in his NFL career, Hill would likely remain a rotational player or come in on pure pass rushing downs — and that’s okay. His elite athleticism and motor, which cannot be undersold Rashad Fenton Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , give him a path to early playing time even if he is still refining his game. As a 20-year-old he has lots of time to develop, and his ability to play a role as a penetrating player will only grow. The final cherry on top is his ability to loop, stunt and cover ground in space — making him a great fit in the ever-changing front we expect from Steve Spagnuolo and Brendan Daly.Want to read more player profiles from Arrowhead Pride’s 25 Days of Draftmas?
