Though the Chiefs are expected to place the franchise tag on Dee Ford, incoming defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo isn’t quite sure just yet how he’d use him.
“I’ll be perfectly honest, I really haven’t figured that out yet,” Spagnuolo said in a teleconference with reporters Wednesday. “I think myself, linebacker coaches, D-line coaches, would still like to figure that out. I don’t think we’re ready to put a tag on it yet.”
The tag that Spagnuolo referenced, by the way, wasn’t the franchise tag, but instead a synonym for label — so take off those tinfoil hats.
