I feel like (other than latecomers who are several days behind in the conversation) we're focusing on the wrong things.
The point is not that Houston may or may not be refusing to restructure, it's that it may well be in our best interest NOT to restructure and just play him as is; and that it's cheaper to do so than to cut him and pay Ford-AND that you're going to get a high pick from a tag and trade with Ford.
We eat the $21 m this year, we can cut him next year and save $18 in cap room. So maybe...like...you sign Landon Collins, structure the deal so that his cap hit is low this year, and high next year, which you can afford because you cut Houston and save $18 m, see what I'm saying?
