Packers, 49ers reportedly express interest in Dee Ford

The Chiefs tagged linebacker Dee Ford with a thought toward possibly trading him. And there’s apparently interest in trading for him.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Packers and 49ers have expressed interest in trading for Ford.

Trading a franchise-tagged player entails several steps. Before any trade can be accomplished, the player needs to sign the franchise tender. Given that Ford may be plotting an attack on the decision to tag him as an outside linebacker and not a defensive end, he may not be inclined to do that.
