Ya, but cutting houston only saves $14M while tagging Ford will prob cost 15 or 16M. Houston has really only had that one ACL and had the chiefs not rushed him back he wouldn't have re-tore it and missed more time. Houston is more likely to play a full season since Ford has only had one full season. Plus houston is more well rounded as far as amount of pass rush moves and stopping the run.
The other advantage to keeping houston on his current contract is that we have an out each year. If we sign ford long term it could end up like berry's contract. I say tag and trade him while his value is peaked.
