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. |

Albert was almost certainly never a part of their long term plans.
Houston is.

I agree. The Albert situation had nothing to do with KC's reluctance to pay top dollar for players. It had more to do with their correct assessment that he isn't one of the best LTs in the game and didn't deserve to be paid like one.

See where I am coming from? Clay Mathews got 5 years $66 million with $20.5 million guaranteed. I think he deserves 6 years $75 million with $50 million guaranteed. That would be a very generous contract for a LBer. It would make him the highest paid in the league by a lot. |

Houston just had one of the best seasons in NFL history and is a potential hall of fame player. Albert is an above average left tackle. They are in no way comparable

The biggest difference between the two situations is that Houston is a much better player and the Chiefs are looking at being in much better cap position the next few years...

Not only did Houston provide them, but he provided so many while dropping into coverage 25% of the time. That equates to less pass rush attempts, meaning more productivity. He's all that, and a bag of chips. |

Jason Avant can't be the most over rated Chief ever. That honor belongs to Branden Albert

It's a very similar situation. We have a player we tagged who wants big money. We have his possible replacement on roster and the team feels they have some leverage. We have tried and failed to reach an agreement to this point.

Look at Ed Reed. He was amazing back there at safety. He got a ton of picks. He never got shut down corner back money. Why? Because he played safety and not corner. His impact on the game was every bit as influential as a shut down corner if not more. A pick isn't a pick and a sack isn't a sack. It's about position. |

Completely ignore that I'm comparing contract situations and the negotiations, not the player...

Yup. In fact that hey tried to trade him the year before. And you never had Clark hunt make a public statement that they really want to keep him. The only other guy I remember Clark doing that with in the Dorsey Era was Alex Smith. And they got that deal done.

B. Hali is reaching the end so we don't really have a replacement. Ford is Hali's replacement, not Houston's |

They tagged Albert as a stop gap measure, and never really negotiated to keep him long term. They drafted Fisher with a clear plan to move him to LT after Albert walked. Houston is clearly a part of their long term plans, and they are negotiating as we speak. They drafted Ford to replace Hali.

I wish we had kept Albert over Bowe back then.
