For fucks sake. Maybe we would have had to pay more as mentioned, but seriously!? Come on man.

I'm not convinced he would've done well as a hand-down DE.

I’d argue it’s worth a 2020 2nd rounder to figure that out.

It also bears mentioning that as a part of that trade, the 49ers signed him to a five-year, $87.5MM contract ($17.5M average annual value) with $45 million in guarantees. So you'd need to be okay with doing that as well if you're going to complain about the Colts failure to make this move. Not saying its a bad or good deal, since I don't know a whole lot about Dee Ford, but just that the financial aspects of these kind of deals are often ignored and the focus is only on the draft pick compensation.

Not at that salary, not worth the gamble that he can play in a 4-3 …

I read that KC thought he was a bad fit for the 4-3 they are changing to. We are "losing" the off season. Good. Its a rare duck that "wins" the off season and repeats in the real season. Keep doing what you're doing Ballard (although Luck to Beckham would have been a sight to see-I understand not having 50-60 million tied up in your qb and top two recievers)

I don't know that I would've wanted the Colts to give him that salary had he hit the open market.

But it wasn't just a 2020 2nd. It was a 2020 2nd + a 5 year $87.5MM contract. That changes the risk calculus.

That, and we already know he can't play the run very well, too. As much pissing and moaning as there is in the Funchess thread, that's a one year deal and all they lose is some of the abundance of cap space. That deal for Ford would have been awful.
