That's like $12m coming off the books there alone. Could free up another $6-ish mil by canning Sorenson and Ragland too. |

I think Houston would take a pay cut.
1) He gets to play on a contender with Mahomes. 2) He gets to play with Jones and Ford. 3) He get to stay a Chief. 4) He’s not getting $21M on the open market per year. So you may as well shave a little off the top. |

Does he get to play with Ford? And Jones is only currently under contract for 1 more year.

If Houston balls out in the coming weeks, change part of his 2019 salary to a bonus. That would give him a nice gift up front and save us money on the cap.

Houston and Ford both finish 2018 in the top 5 among edge rushers for PFFs pass rush productivity rate stat. (Percentage of pass rush attempts that end in a sack, QB hit, or hurry).
Let’s hope they bring it for January. |

The success of Ford, Houston and Jones as a pass rushing trio makes me want to stay with a 3-4 defense and try to sign Ford this off season.

Houston has a cap hit of ~$21m, I read that if we cut him we can save ~$14m against the cap. My question is if we were to trade him would we save the full ~$21m? Also, what do you believe he'd be worth in a trade?

Trade or cut is the same result. Both accelerate prorated bonuses to the current year.

Maybe offer him a restructure to lower his number and let him play with Mahomes for a while.

I think someone suggested an extension which guarantees him a couple more years as a Chief but brings the per year average down in the next couple of years. If he would take that I'd be okay with it.

he's definitely not a $100 million man. He's not JJ Watt or Aaron Donald. He'll make some plays still, but that's not worth what he's getting paid. We drafted his position (basically) in the 2nd round in the last 2 drafts and unfortunately I'm not that confident in either one to replace him.
