Chiefs signed first-round OLB Dee Ford to a four-year contract.

Chiefs GM John Dorsey believes first-round OLB Dee Ford can have be an impact sub this season. In today's NFL it is important to have a rotation of players that can get to the quarterback, and that is exactly how Dorsey envisions Ford being used in 2014. "What he will do during the course of the game is spell guys,"? Dorsey said. "That gives you the ability to have your guys fresh rushing the passer late in the game."? Ford will be a part-time player this season, but with Justin Houston set to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year, he could transition into a starting role in 2015.
