I think people always forget salary inflation. If you wanted a guy to replace the production that Houston provided last year on a fresh contract in '18, you would pretty much have to pay them what Houston is earning now.
Besides sacks and production are not the same thing. As the article someone posted in this thread spells out on Houston, he had tons of pressures which affected games but were not sacks. PFF ranks on pressures and overall ranked him the 15th best OLB last year.
