One thing people don't seem to factor in is that Houston is absolutely on the books for $7M this year. So that 21M cap number means very little. $14M. That's the number you should focus on. If Justin Houston were a street free agent, and it was going to cost you $14M to sign him for this year, would you do it? I would. I think that's what his market value is. He's literally what everyone here is clamoring that Ford isn't: an all-round pass rusher who can also play the run, set an edge. If that's what Ford is going to cost - $14M - then why the hell would you ever cut Houston? Keep Houston, try to trade Ford, otherwise let him walk and get your comp pick. |

What would be ****ing stupid is counting on Houston and Ford to not only make the switch to the 4-3 but to stay healthy as well......for $37 MILLION DOLLARS. |

I think if they had to choose, they would like to keep Houston, plus this draft has some really good talent and depth on the DL.
Houston, Speaks, Tanoh and a high draft pick. |

But that’s a lot of turnover on a team already switching schemes and while I totally understand why we should do it, I wouldn’t be surprised if the defense is a disappointment in 2019 again. |

I also get letting both walk and putting faith in a new scheme and existing/incoming talent.
The really ****ing nice thing is that Mahomes makes ALLLLLL OF THIS manageable. Move up in the draft, move down, sign free agents, trade players... It doesn't matter. The house is built. Now you get to decorate and insure it. |

Obviously you need to sign Jones. You can't sign Ford too and expect the defense to improve. |

Seattle lost Sherman, Chancellor, Avril, Bennett and Thomas half a year and look how good they were? It’s literally all about coaching. |

You say that like they were worth a shit this year. They were 31st in the league. There are about 3 guys on the defensive side of the ball that couldn't be replaced with someone better in a New York minute at probably close to the same price or cheaper.

Letting Nelson and Ford both walk might net us a couple third round compensatory picks in 2020.
All that said, I just think its dumb to send Houston packing. Some of you guys see available cap space as something to get overly excited about. Its over-rated. Sure, the Chiefs should go get a significant free agent, hell I think I'd be trying to trade for a guy. But its not like cap space will solve all out problems in 2019. |
