He'll be a free agent unless the Chiefs extend or re-sign him.
Personally, I think it needs to get done. Bailey, Poe & Howard for the next four years would be awesome.

Bailey got 4/$25 million that likely ends up being 3/$19 million when all is said and done. If you're Howard, you might take that, but given the relative lack of quality young veterans (especially on the interior line), you may also want to take your chances in the market.
Now, let's assume that Howard would take Bailey's deal - would you even offer it? I don't know that I would. I've liked what I've seen from him, but he's also a guy that was just a 4th rounder and he's had some pretty significant injuries in his past.
Honestly, with the money we already have/will have tied up in our front 7, I think Howard's a luxury item at that price. I don't think the Chiefs can offer him Bailey's deal, nor do I think he'd be eager to jump at it.
