The Justin Houston issue sucks.
The Chiefs are trapped into his monsterous contract. He's being horribly overpaid for something he did in 2014 and hasn't done a whole hell of a lot since, let's be honest.
And I get that being an OLB isn't just about sacks. But he's also not being paid $100M for being a quality run stuffer who sets the edge on his side, either. For what he's being paid, Houston needs to avg about a sack/game. 21 sacks in 3 yrs since his contract extension. And yes he was inj and didn't play, but you can't be productive if you're not on the field.
What sucks even more, is that I think Justin Houston is declining. Could be due to his knee, I dont know what the excuse is. But his production is dropping. It'd be sure nice if Dee Ford was worth a shit.
