Chiefs Justin Houston Contract Rumor... - Page 16

Yeah, yeah.. Bleacher report.

Says Justin Houston wants a JJ Watt type contract from the Chiefs. Watt signed a six year 100 million deal with Houston.

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.

Wait for the events to be done, announce the next day, profit.

It's GOING to be talked about ANYWAY.

If the Chiefs want the contract to count, they have to file it BY THE DEADLINE. If they file it, then it will be reported by ESPN, NFL.com, and every other sports media outlet, including local KC sources. THAT will overshadow the Royals ASG.

Graham wanted to be paid like a WR. He challenged the tag as a TE with the league. It is similar in that top tier TEs make less than WRs. OLBs make less than top tier DE and DT. That's where the problem might be. He probably wants to be paid for production instead of position and it doesn't work like that.

Because they'd be signing their Franchise player to a gigantic contract.

I think that most press conferences are pretty silly but I'm sure they'll all want to talk about Houston as a player and team leader, how he's been locked up for years and the size of the contract.

The deadline is Wednesday. The ASG will be over with.

Maybe overconfident. But to me, that sounds like they know how much money he wants and that they'll come to terms. This time last year, we were sweating about Jamaal Charles and they pulled off a deal at the very last minute. We'll see.

More over he and Clark have made definitive statements that Justin isn't going anywhere. I've never heard them speak so directly on any player. At all.

**DaneMcCloud** · 07-12-2015, 04:14 PM

They can fax it over at 3:55pm EST on Wednesday and still make the deadline.

Personally if this is true, I think it shows a tremendous amount of class and respect for not only the Royals organization and players but for the city as well.

Let the Boys of Summer have the spotlight.

I hope they keep him and make him the highest paid OLB in the league. That should be easy. Just don't give him Watt or Suh kinda top ten money. Clay Mathews makes like $12.8 million a year I think and is the highest paid OLB in the league. Somewhere between that and Watt is what he needs to get. Like $14-15 million a year.

The more hype and excitement they drum up, the more money they make.

Did they do one for Dwayne Bowe? Or Alex Smith? I know they do them for new signings but I can't remember a press conference for a re-signing.

I bet they would for their franchise tagged player.

I assume so. Again, they may not be exclusively about the signing and the player won't be present, but they usually have one.

Talk about the deal, answer questions, talk about and answer questions on other business.

Bowe was franchise tagged also. And if they didn't do it for their QB, I don't know if they'll do it for Houston.

I could be completely wrong though. Maybe they did do press conferences for Smith and Bowe. I just don't recall them.
