Why didn't we sign Houston months ago?
If we were going to just backup a Brink's truck, we could have done that at any time. Why not do it earlier so that we could use that cap room during the prime Free Agency period?

Theres probably 100 different reasons why, reasons we'll never be privy to.
Shuffling around that much money cant be easy. |

Let's ask WeathermanKumke and that 97.5 million contract Houston signed days before the deadline.

It's kind of cute watching some of you guys hate on him after he called his shot. It's not unreasonable to think they had it so close that it leaked it was getting done. Amazing that we put people down for doing essentially what this site was originally designed to do. Give us die hards some insider info. Ok, gang...

Guy called the shot. Contract was done for around what he said. Guy gets flamed for no reason. Rinse and repeat.

Because originally what Houston wanted was probably higher. So they negotiated, and with other areas of the offseason, ie the draft, free agency, Andy eating barbecue, they now found time to get the contract done. Then, now, in reality it makes no difference. 50 is a chief.

Ian Rapoport reported last week that they tried to sign him back in October for (wisely) less money. It was likely around the time he had 12 sacks in 8 games, thus he turned it down and essentially bet on himself.
It paid off, literally. You have to consider all of the things that can happen in the months from April-July before just handing the money out (see Jason Pierre-Paul). They played it just right. |
