How is Justin Houston feeling right now?
 

LMAO

Should’ve given us the home discount and finished his career with a SB

He shoulda done that anyway. We already had the vastly superior QB.

Solid player, great at his prime,but I'd seen enough of his 'leadership'.

They had to ship him out to correct the culture.

"LET'S GO GET THIS THING DAWWWWG!"

I bet hes feeling what did he get? 12 mil. 12 million dollars richer

He probably does wish he'd stayed but I don't know if he'd be willing to part with millions just to stay and have a chance at a ring.

Houston saw himself as a mercenary , and didn't want to restructure even with his guaranteed bonus money from his 2nd contract.

Probably washed his Bentley today.

The majority of NFL players probably care about Money more than odds at a Super Bowl.

Very much this. It’s a business and if your a Star, it’s about setting yourself up for life. Don’t blame them one bit.

100% accurate.

Houston's play last year wasn't the issue, but his attitude certainly was...

What was his attitude?

He didn't practice hard, when he practiced at all. He didn't lead by example. Sat on the sideline, super quiet. Talked shit on Chiefs management from time to time, felt he didn't owe much to the organization that made him a multi-millionaire before age 30. He just wasn't a real leader on the defense. Between Houston and his attitude and Berry and his Haglund's, we had like $45m worth of players who should've been leading the defense either on the sideline pretending to coach, or simply muttering to anyone who'd listen about how they don't have to practice...

Facts.

I remember reading a quote that mentioned Justin Hamilton having to get on Houston because it looked like he was dogging it vs the Ravens. I don't necessarily know about attitude, but his effort level wasn't all there last year.

He could've been one of the all time greats if he would've had a better attitude and played/practiced harder.

The all-time greats make the players around them better; Houston did not do these things.

Lmao those are things you just made up. Who said he didn't practice hard?

You completely misinterpreted that quote.



"I just knew we had to make a play,” Houston said. “(Hamilton) walked up to me on the sideline. He called me out. He said, ‘You show energy all week long. I need it now. I need it now! You’re the leader of this defense. I need it now!’ So he challenged me, and I just want to be that guy the team could lean on in a time of need.”

This. So tired of people using that quote as a major indictment of the guy.

He absolutely was a leader on that defense and you could absolutely see that on the sidelines.

I'm sure his depression goes away every time he looks at his bank statement.

A lot of people. I don't care what you think. Don't believe me. You can believe he was the best player on one of the worst defenses ever, and you might even be right.

I wasn't even considering that quote...more the rumblings from inside the buidling in regards to his attitude towards the organization itself.

Cancerous, and it spread throughout the defense. A defense that should have been better than they were.

Who are these a lot of people? Link?

People I've spoken with.

It's been all over this board, too - here's just one thread with several comments on the first page (I'll link it, even though your reading comprehension is atrocious) :

Holy shit you seriously linked me to posts on here to prove how Houston was lazy in practice ROFL ROFL ROFL Wow.

The posts here speak to his overall shitty attitude. I don't have any links about practice, like I said in the previous post, it's from people inside the building.



Jesus ****ing Christ, I knew your comprehension was terrible...

Words. Do you know what they mean!?

LOL Rabble is an idiot. I'm not sure he's ever had a valid stance in any debate.

You must've missed where I defended Tyreek's innocence from Day one, but that's okay...I'll forgive you for being oblivious.

I didn't think getting a sack on Tom Brady was too much to ask in the biggest game to get to the Super Bowl.

Hell, I would've settled for a tackle on their running backs, or even just getting in the way to slow them down so someone else could tackle them...

Who cares? He ****ing left, he did not want to re-structure.

**** the Colts.

Pretty much all this.

I guess you're referring to his attitude toward a contract because he was always a team player with a great attitude in the locker room.

More icing on the "**** Indy" cake.

ROFL

What a beautiful day!!!!

You still don't know the definition of the word fact.

No1curr

Why do people assume he was given that option?

The Colts weren’t gonna be as good as the Chiefs anyway. :shrug:

I seriously doubt Houston is sweating this.

Same source as the one that told me Tyreek didn't do anything and that "he good", so...how'd that all work out for ya?

He's totally not worried about it at all, he's getting paid phat to rush the passer every now and again and get blocked out of running plays...he good.

Lol and he used the same person twice. Players get cut and then some fans get butt hurt that the player didn't take a discount. Once they leave they have to start making shit up. I'm not saying DJ was making up anything. I trust his analysis about Houston's run D not being up to par with what it usually is, but I think that can be attributed to him being injured. I think the Chiefs doctors really ****ed him over with his knee, just like they did with JC.

Idiot fans expect these guys to just take a pay cut when they are ruining their bodies and it's pretty much a given that shortly after they retire from football their lives get pretty shitty. If not for the players these owners would have a lot less income, so maybe the owners should be the grateful ones since they are making billions and most players make a fraction of that. The players should squeeze every little bit of money they can, so that they know they and their families will never have to worry about money.

Worked out great for me, I'm a chiefs fan.

Your source couldn't know how houston felt, therefore you can't say how he felt as a fact.

You're so full of shit. Nobody knew that he was for sure good. I thought the whole thing was a crock of shit and he didn't do anything. You never know what's going to happen with a police investigation, especially when it involves a crazy psycho bitch and her family. That crazy bitch could have beat the shit out of herself and said he did it. Is your "source" Nick Athan?

We all know that Justin Houston FELT like he was worth more than he was, because he wouldn't restructure his contract. We know the Chiefs organization FELT like Houston wasn't worth being the highest paid player on the team, because when he refused to restructure, they cut his ass.

And those are facts.

I'm not sure we even know they offered to restructure...

Players are making a lot more percentage wise than any other employee is making from their employers.

Good Lord these guys and their ****ing sources.

Hey! How the **** are ya?

I’m good brother, how are you and yours?

Rolling along. Good to see you.

Good to be here, lot of personal bullshit lately

I know the feeling buddy.

At least we have mahomes. You need anything yell.

Thanks man, same goes

Houston should of retired 2 years ago.

He probably feels like a wealthy as **** 30 year old.

He must have to pay bills if he can't take a pay cut

He’ll still take 2/3 of the plays off. That’s his spirit. Scout of the defense. Not to be seen or engage.

LMAO
