Justin Houston’s last year in KC?
I’m not an expert on these contracts, but could it be Houston’s last year here? His production has been awful and with two games this year with big leads and lots of down the field pass attempts by opposing QBs, Houston has no sacks. I think he has less sacks in the last 50 or so games than he did in the year before his contract, the big year with 22 sacks. His cap hit will decline dramatically next year. He might be gone. As a general rule, I think the chiefs should limit these large 2nd contracts. The motivation just isn’t there. The raiders were right to trade Khalil Mack. Here’s the info on Houston’s contract. Let’s hope Houston turns it around. We need him for a playoff run but if he doesn’t increase production, I think he’s gone.

I personally think his energy level right now stinks. He needs to get some film out and watch how Miller and Mack approach this thing. They are running around like their hair is on fire flying around the football. Heck when Aaron Rogers' threw the go ahead TD for the Packers in Week 1, Mack ran the whole field trying to make the tackle. Houston whiffs on getting Jimmy G on a sack yesterday and loops around after missing him jogging. He acts like he has played 80 snaps no matter what time in the game. IMO he just seems like he is dogging it.

I'd be curious to see how many times Houston was dropped into coverage during his prime years under Sutton in comparison to how much he is on coverage now.
Anyone curious/bored enough to research this stat? |

Sutton's zone blitz scheme was similarly criticized when he was with the Jets. |

Justin Houston was our Lawrence Taylor, now he's Carl Banks a fine player in his own right just not a cornerstone pass rusher.

For what Houston brings isn't his contract comparable to the better players in the league right now?

He's a good do it all player right now he's not elite anymore so he probably should make about half of what he does. |

Well, yeah. He's further along in his deal than Khalil.

It is and always has been a function of productivity (in this case plays that win games) per unit salary. There just aren’t enough plays available at any position to afford to go out and be at the top of the market except QB. I think in practice it would never work - you probably can’t be cheap everywhere. And I’m totally not against Free Agents. Just not ones at the top of the market. Before I get put on blast again, I am open to being wrong about Hill. But if he wants OBJ money we are probably better off letting him get it elsewhere. That’s a really good comparison. |
