KC Chiefs free agents with plenty to offer other teams

Charvarius Ward, corner

This is the most obvious posting of all here, but it looks like Ward could potentially price himself out of a return to Kansas City based upon his potential, his market, and the Chiefs’ penchant for playing it cheaper at the position.

If Ward gets away, he’s going to have a lot to offer his next team simply because he will be in his mid-twenties with years of his prime ahead of him and yet a full history of being a consistent force as a boundary corner for the Chiefs.

Brett Veach deserves loads of credit for flipping an injured Parker Ehinger to the Dallas Cowboys for a few years of Ward in the secondary, but no one would be surprised to see the Chiefs pay market price for a few more years of him as well. It might alter the present approach of searching for cheaper help at cornerback, but Ward is a sticky-as-hell pass defender who excels in exactly what the Chiefs need on defense.

Losing him would be a big hit to the Chiefs and a potential gain to fellow AFC contenders like the Bengals or Patriots.
