I think there's a lot of validity to Chris's argument. I realize $21M is a pretty hard number, but so is $16M. My opinion is Houston fits better in a 4-3 much better than Ford. Ford is a liability in the run game, Houston is not. How many times did we see Houston drop into coverage, negating any chance to rush the QB?
I think Houston would restructure for the same guaranteed money because he sees the Chiefs as the best chance of getting that ring. The tag and trade Ford option is a little risky. I'm not sure any team would give up a #1 and take a $16M hit for a 1 year player. I'm not even sure we'd get a high #2 unless there's a 3-4 team that has money and feels they are 1 step away from competing. The only team I can think of is the Colts and they're pretty far down the draft order. .
