the news while speaking with members of the media at Monday's annual NFL meetings. Ford originally arrived in San Francisco via trade with the Kansas City Chiefs in March of 2019 following a contract dispute with the Chiefs. Ford then signed a five-year contract worth $87.5 million with the 49ers, making him one of the highest paid pass rushers in the league at the time.
Ford enjoyed a relatively fruitful debut campaign with the 49ers by recording 7.5 sacks en route to helping his 49ers reach Super Bowl LIV, where they would be defeated by Ford's previous team, the Chiefs. An unfortunate neck-and-back injury the following October limited Ford to just one regular-season appearance in 2020. Ford made a short-lived return to the field in 2021, recording a respectable 3.0 sacks in six games before landing on injured reserve with his recurring back issue.
The Chiefs struggled to impact opposing pockets last season, recording just 31 sacks in 17 regular-season contests. Only the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons fared worse in that department. The cash-strapped Chiefs have done concerningly little to improve their pass rushing efforts throughout the offseason, as not a single notable front-seven player has been acquired by General Manager Brett Veach.
Colts General Manager Chris Ballard previously served as Kansas City's director of player personnel when the Chiefs drafted Ford and undeniably played a big role in his selection. Ballard would then become Kansas City's director of football operations throughout some of the most fruitful seasons of Ford's run with the Chiefs. Few personnel decision-makers understand what Ford is capable of like Ballard does.
The new Jaguars regime possesses several coaches that are extremely familiar with Ford. Head Coach Doug Pederson served as the Chiefs' offensive coordinator for two seasons that overlapped with Ford. Furthermore, Jaguars senior defensive assistant Bob Sutton worked as Ford's defensive coordinator in Kansas City throughout his entire five-year tenure in Kansas City.
