Justin Houston Contract Rumor...
Yeah, yeah.. Bleacher report.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...ey-from-chiefs Says Justin Houston wants a JJ Watt type contract from the Chiefs. Watt signed a six year 100 million deal with Houston. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/houston-texans/j.j.-watt/ Those numbers actually seem fairly reasonable, assuming Houston keeps at his trade. Probably ends up being a little bit less guaranteed, but I could certainly live with that salary cap hit year-by-year. |

1. I'm not watching a bleacher report video.
2. I'm all for paying Houston, but JJ Watt money is too much money. Even for JJ Watt. |

Wasn't this reported yesterday by a real source?
It's kinda stupid though. Duh, Houston wants Watt money. It would be news if it said "Houston willing to take less than Watt". |

I would take JJ Watt's deal for Houston. The way it's structured it's very affordable for that team. We can absolutely do that.

This is a rumor but one that makes sense.
Imo Houston would already have a new contract if he wasn't asking for J.J. Watt money. Playing him on the tag this year and maybe next, trade him. Albert and Hudson were the same deal, asking for more money than they are worth.

IMO, it's all about what Clark wants to do, and he said he wants Houston as a " Chief for life" he'll get paid like Watt or very close to it.

Give his ass a $100 million contract and be done with it. The guarantees and structuring are far more important than the total dollar amount.
Watt's extension has his cap hits sitting at $14, $14, $14, $15, $15, $15, and $17 mil over the next several seasons. That's manageable as all balls. Houston's proven that he's been an ascending guy for years now. He had 10 sacks in 2012 when our team didn't hold a single lead for the first 8 games and our putrid offense couldn't even put up 14 PPG on average. He had 11 sacks in 11 games in 2013 then came back and had another sack in the playoff game. He put up 22 sacks while also being a premier run/pass defender (as far as 3-4 OLBs go) and not committing a single penalty in 2014. Even if he's peaked he'd be worth a mega contract, and I'm not certain he has.. |

He won't change a point spread 1 point, or change our over/under win total for the season.
Since we don't need to spend money on an elite QB, I say pay him anyway. WTF else are the Chiefs going to do? |

Yep.
Everyone in KC wants to keep Houston but apparently he is asking for a 100 million-ish contract. Houton is currently the 2nd highest(tag $) paid OLB in the league, so the Chiefs are willing to pay. Apparently they just aren't willing to pay an epic level contract for an OLB.

That's a ludicrious statement. Every player on the field has the ability to change point spread/win total.

So we should never give any of our home-grown studs big contracts?
