He played all 18 games this year. I'm not sure what you want.
Yeah, he could get injured. But anyone could. And even if he's more likely than most to miss a few games, he's still a big part of this team potentially winning a Super Bowl in 2019.
It's simple to me. If the Chiefs have to start Speaks or a rookie this year, Ford is going to help that player a lot more than Houston or any other FA will. He will attract the necessary attention to give Speaks/rookie consistent one on ones. I think it helps the defense as a whole better than keeping Houston. I don't consider getting rid of both to be a viable option. Making moves like that all at once when you are supposed to be a Super Bowl favorite will rock your locker room morale in a destructive manner.
