If I thought one trick pony could put up 23 hurries, 17 QB knockdowns, 13 sacks and 7 FF over the course if a contract, then id easily pay him 17-18 million a year. Id rather pay 17-18 million for that instead of 20.5 million a year 1st rounder and 2nd rounder for a guy that is probably a slightly lesser pass rusher, not much less, and just a little bit better run defender.
With that being said, I dont think that Dee Ford will have that kind of production again and it surprises the shit out of me that Dee Ford hasn't missed a game. So if I had to pick between these options:
1. Dee Ford long term 5 yr $85.5 mil
2. Dee Ford franchise tag
3. Frank Clark give up 1st 2nd rnd draft pick and 5 yr $104 mil contract. Basically get our 2nd rounder back.
4. Keep Houston on his contract
5. None of the Aabove
This is how I rank my options
4
5
2
3
1
So in my opinion we didnt choose the worst option, but it was the 2nd worst.
And now Frank's out because he some how hurt hus neck, so after Sunday, Clark will have missed more games than Ford this year.
