We can draft someone younger to earn such a contract in the future if they are capable.

A-5 years at $15-$17 per is totally reasonable for a 25 year old plus player at a premium position. I'd feel better about that than paying Ford.
B-he's already played for Daly. He knows exactly what they're doing on the line, he's already done it.
What you DON'T know is whether Ford and/or Houston can play in this scheme. I would bet that Houston would be better in the short run than Ford. He's also wildly expensive, 30, with a lengthy injury history.
Jones is the only homegrown star on that defense that I'd pay right now. I'd take a couple plus players at prime positions
