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.

Drafting Speaks was just ****ing stupid. Dorian O'Daniel too.
The 2018 draft still pisses me off to this day. This team has a giant need at CB and S...but lets a draft a fat slow out of position project and a ST warrior with 2 of the first 3 picks in a draft w/ no 1st rd pick available to the Chiefs at the time. IMO you have to hit on an immediate starter considering the holes you have on D. Speaks looked like he belonged on a HS field vs PIT. |

Let’s be more specific here.
In 2019, Houston is $21.1M to kept and $7.1M to cut. But Dee ford and Allen Bailey are off the books at a total of over $17M. Additionally, Maclin, Smith, DJ, and Tamba all count as dead money this year but not next. Extending a 30 year old Houston two years, converting a large portion of his 2019 and 2020 salary to signing bonus gives him more money up front and guaranteed, but reduces his overall cap hit every year to a much more manageable amount. This is why the best way to save money on Houston is paying him more. It’s just math. |

Umm, I made a post in this very thread describing the difference between restructure and renegotiate. I'm not in favor of restructuring, as it just pushes the money back to future years. Either renegotiate a lower contract or terminate the contract.

I have done plenty of research. I don't have to read PFF advanced stats to have an informed opinion. I'm not sure why you have such a hard on for me. Just read Mellinger's article in the Star from today. Ford and Jones have both been more productive rushing the passer so far this season.

Bates would look good in this defense about right now.

You'll also get the Harold Landry and Josh Jackson talk because they went right before Speaks did.

I questioned Jackson when I thought this was a mostly man team, now he'd be fine here.

A restructure means that we tie Houston up even longer with his salary cap hit. He can take a pay cut since he isn't worth even close to what he is getting paid but no restructure. |

Why do people have such a hard time understanding that a restructure LOWERS the cap hit.
