In that scenario, Houston gets paid the same 2019 $'s, but we take a much smaller cap hit. |

Any deal for a restructure with Houston is cool, but would be a negotiation and maybe he will, maybe he won't. I'm saying that even if he won't, he's still the better deal than Ford. due to the cap hit of letting Houston go, which would be $7 million. That more than makes up the difference in salary. Plus the high pick you'll get from Ford. |

I guess my point is-
we, and all the non-connected fanboy site pundits have been playing checkers, and Veach might very well be playing chess. |

The other thing about my contract proposal is it allows Houston to earn his 2019 "guarantees" (which aren't really guaranteed), but 2020 and beyond can be a contract reflective of his value in his 30's. So that contract for Houston wouldn't be much different than if the Chiefs kept him for one year, then cut him. |

I guess my point is, even if you assume he will NOT restructure-and if you consider the $18 m we can save next year by not doing any restructuring, he's a better financial deal in every way than Ford is. Plus, you know, he's only two years older than Ford. It's not like it's that drastic there either. But I don't think either is in our long term plans, and the smart fiscal thing is to keep Houston one more year and then cut him, like it was structured to do. |

I wouldn't be worried about nobody wanting Ford, though, so I'd tag him and shop him no worries. |

You mentioning this about Houston is the only post I've seen ANYWHERE that makes this claim. |

Otherwise yeah you either trade them and the whole franchise tag amount, you pay them the tag amount, or you work out an extension. I'm not sure what you aren't understanding. |

Hell no! That's the dumbest thing I keep hearing. Ford is the best pass rusher we have. he's also one of the best in the league and he's in his prime. With the offense we now have it puts teams into passing mode in the 2nd half and the best way to pressure that is a speed edge rusher.
Getting rid of houston or ford either one is just dumb! And I don't give a shit about the money. |

both guys play one position in this defense. You have no money at all to sign anyone of any impact to the rest of the defense. We've been talking about this for quite awhile. Catch up. |
