No way you pay Houston for 4 more years. He's clearly lost a step and didn't seem to be super motivated until the last 1/4 of the season + playoffs.
I worry about Jones pulling a Houston or a Berry with injuries or slowdown. I'm not worried about Hill at all. Although obviously anything can happen.
Everyone is like - you can't pay Ford because he's a one hit wonder. Well Jones is too to some degree. I have a theory that some of these guys risk it and get on some performance enhancers before their contract year. But then they go back to just being good. Jones came in completely jacked this year. If he was always some super low bodyfat freak I wouldn't be as suspicious.
Not that I thought that about Berry or Houston - they were great from day 1. Which is the kind of person you pay. We just got super unlucky with them.
