DieHard 2,061 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I heard Ingram got $4M. Not sure what Okafor got. Last year: Ingram 7 games 0 sacks Okafor 11 games 3 sacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCWEST 1,238 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Okafar is a better choice. Okafar is the better all around player even with no sacks. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balto 723 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Meh I think Ingram, even at this point, would of been the better choice and player BUT I'm guessing Okafor came MUCH MUCH Cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Rather have Okafor. qnet and oldtimer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spfdchiefsfan 621 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I think if Ingram was an actual "target", they could of gotten a deal done. The guy is washed up, and I am glad they missed out on him. Not a huge Okafor fan, but I think I would rather have him! oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Hard to get excited about Okafor. Sure, he knows the system and played okay when healthy, but he hasn't been healthy for two years with the Chiefs. Is he better than Dana against the run? is he better than Taco as a pass rusher assuming both are healthy? The Chiefs are light at DE and could be lighter if Clark gets significant time off, but I don't see Okafor as more than a fill in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I think Ingram and Okafor are just two bodies. Neither are game changers so I see it as a wash either way. Nothing to get excited about. Just need Okafor to stay on the field and healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handswarmer 645 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Okafor is familar to the system; all around above average player. Good fit for the team and situation. "Okafor expects to compete for a backup role behind anticipated starters Frank Clark and Chris Jones as the team's edge rushers. Competition at defensive end also includes veteran Taco Charlton, second-year pro Mike Danna and 2021 fourth-round draft pick Joshua Kaindoh." oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I don't really see a difference between Okafor and Ingram in terms of impact so both guys are similar signings IMO. Okafor knows the system which could be seen as a plus and I'm more hopeful about Taco or Danna getting much more snaps this year. There's also the likely suspension for Clark which means a dire need for a stopgap early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pass rush from the front 4 is my concern. mex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed should help in the pass rush department and maybe Clark will be healthier this year. Moving Jones is a concern, but he may play more on the inside if Tao comes around. It would be nice to see Gay blitzing more rather than the corner blitzes that Spags seems to love. I think the pass rush will be at least average, maybe a little above that.
