Does Ford have an injury history? Absolutely, but it’s not as bad as you’re making it out to be and I feel like his pass rush ability will not be replaced in one offseason, so I’m willing to roll the dice on one more season.
I don't think he played his freshman year.

The reason why I continue to include college is because it extends the pattern. If he had played 4 years of college ball with no significant injuries, one could make the case that his stint with the Chiefs is bad luck or something. But that's just not the case, he's been hurt a lot.

As for replacing his pass rush, we're just on two different sides of the coin. You're operating from the headspace that he can repeat 2018 pretty easily so losing him is a big deal.

I don't see any reason to be confident right now that he can repeat 2018 easily. Nothing in his history suggests he can do it. That's a lot of money for a maybe. If he gets hurt again, his pass rush ability will be zero - that's pretty easy to replace with 15M dollars.
