If Houston won’t take a pay cut I’d get rid of him. Not worth the $21M cap hit.
He benefits a lot from having Ford and Jones there, I’m telling ya. |

Probably floating it that we might cut him so he'll be more likely to restructure, I guess. Either way, 21 million for him just isn't feasible.

Go back and look at a couple threads about Ford from a couple weeks ago, I’ve been saying that for awhile. Houston wasn’t really ever getting double teamed late in the year. It was Ford.

Yep. Really don't want to let either of them go when the best window is now and we've got ****ing nothing to replace either of them. Goddamnit Dorsey and Veach.

So they may let ford walk or trade him so go ahead and talk down about him now since he may not be a chief next year |

Personally, with the scheme change I don't think either one of them is worth it considering the cost and Houston's age.
$37M for two pass rushers, one of which is 30 and the other is a one trick pony. A LOT could be done with that money. |

We spent damn near 30 million annually on Watkins and Hitchens. Really don't trust Veach to spend it all that wisely.

I’d rather just stack the defense with good players everywhere and that money could help you do that but that’s a risk |

I’m good with Watkins now. It sucks he got hurt (again) but damn he was good against the pats.
But **** they haven’t gotten much return on any free agents in a while outside of Schwartz |

Houston is the better overall player but he no longer commands double teams. He’s 30 and expensive for what he gives. Not 2014 Houston at all anymore. They both feed off of each other in some ways but I’m not sure either is worth their current projected cost, $21M and $15-17M for Ford. They have to figure something out. Would like to keep both. |

And I'm firmly in the camp that thinks Hitchens will be a completely different player next year in a 4-3. |

Personally, I'd take the risk at finding those players in FA or the draft. To me it's worth the risk to improve the defense as a whole, instead of relying on one-dimensional players who are too easily taken out of a game if we're not two+ scores ahead. |
