Chiefs, Justin Houston not at impasse or consensus, yet
Posted by Mike Florio on July 14, 2015, 6:38 PM EDT

With less than a day remaining for working out a long-term deal between teams and franchise-tagged players, the Chiefs and linebacker Justin Houston are working toward a possible deal.

Right now, a source with knowledge of the process pegs the chances of a deal at 50-50, not because it’s a coin-flip proposition but because it remains unknown whether those two circles on the Venn diagram will at least kiss.

Houston knows what he needs to swap out the $13.1 million guaranteed salary for 2015 and the promise of a 20-percent raise (more than $15.7 million) for 2016. The Chiefs know what they are willing to pay. At some point within the next 21 hours, the two sides will move toward whatever their bottom line is.

If the current gap can be bridged, a deal will be done. If not, Houston will be on the books for $13.1 million in 2015.

The question then becomes when will he show up? Unlike Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant, Houston has remained silent on the potential consequences of not getting a deal done before 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
