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.

Yep. And I too labeled him a "Veach Guy" earlier in this thread... Man, I so get the whole "Low Risk - High Reward" signing, ALL GM's like those deals. The issue I have though is if you count on too many to fill positions of great need, then they become HIGH RISKS to fill all of the said needs.

If he gets hurt again, no question he needs to go. Club/tub
Otherwise he needs to restructure into something extremely team friendly, because he's a role player at this point, and his contract was a titanic mistake. If he won't do that, we can let him go with confidence knowing that we're probably better off drafting a replacement and giving his snaps to younger players who might ascend anyway, since the defense is rebuilding. And we won't lose much production really. |

Hey Clowney is a FA after this year want him?
Think Ezekial Ansah can stand up because Detroit probably won't keep him either. |

Seriously though had they not paid him it would have looked horrible. The Raiders are going to be made fun of forever for that move. |

They can clear a lot of cap space to sign important pieces like Hill without getting substantially worse. Draft reasonably well/sign affordable FAs and you can replace the production you're getting now from anyone on that list minus Kelce and Berry (and Berry may not be reliable enough to keep longterm). |
