As such, it wouldn\u2019t be much of a surprise to see them still looking to\u00a0make another move.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">That might\u2019ve been why they\u00a0restructured George Karlaftis\u2019 lofty deal. They converted roughly $9.7 million of his salary into a signing bonus to create $7.7 million in cap space, and they\u2019re now sitting on $13.2 million of cash to spend.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_1\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Notably, that type of financial flexibility puts them in a prime position to make a run at Cameron Jordan. The New Orleans Saints\u2019 all-time sacks leader is still a free agent, and he\u2019d be an elite addition, even at this point in his career.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Chiefs should go all-in on Cameron Jordan<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Chiefs\u2019 pass-rush has left plenty to be desired over the years. George Karlaftis hasn\u2019t lived up to his contract, Chris Jones isn\u2019t getting any younger, and Felix Anudike-Uzomah\u00a0has been underwhelming. That\u2019s why they spent such valuable draft capital to get R Mason Thomas.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_2\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Like Jones, Jordan is no spring chicken. Nevertheless, he\u2019s coming off logging 10.5 sacks, 47 total tackles (32 solo), 15 tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, and two forced fumbles despite playing less than 54% of his team\u2019s defensive snaps. Even at 36 years old, he made an impact when he was on the field, and he\u2019d give the Chiefs a bona fide headhunter in obvious passing situations.<\/p>\n<div id=\"js_adsconex_parallax_1\" class=\"\" data-type=\"parallax\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-parallax_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-parallax_ad-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-parallax_ad\" align=\"center\">\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_inpage_1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">According to ESPN, the Chiefs ranked 10th\u00a0in pass-rush win\u00a0rate last season (40%). However, they struggled to finish plays, as they were tied for 21st in sacks per game (2.1) and didn\u2019t have a single player reaching double digits in sacks. In fact, only Karlaftis (6.0) and Jones (7.0) had more than five sacks.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Jordan has always been a productive edge rusher, and he\u2019d give the Chiefs and R Mason Thomas one of the best mentors they could ask for. He\u2019s earned the right to play for a Super Bowl contender for a change, and Jones has been trying to recruit him for a while now.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_3\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">According to PFF, his\u00a036 total pressures\u00a0ranked 53rd among edge rushers. However, he got that in just 336 pass-rushing snaps, all while also getting 33 run stops. His production was stellar on a per-snap basis, and the Chiefs don\u2019t even need him to be on the field that often.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Jordan is projected to get a\u00a0one-year deal worth roughly $6.8 million, according to Spotrac, which is well within their price range. He won\u2019t be a long-term contributor to Steve Spagnuolo\u2019s defense, but he can give this team just a strong-enough push to get back to where they belong in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They must make a big move.
