The general theme of that thread is most assuredly not '**** Houston...'; but there's definitely a discussion as to whether or not he's worth what he'll command. Here's the dirty little secret - in year one of that deal, he wasn't. Injuries matter.

And for whatever it's worth, I said the entire time in that thread that Houston deserved JJ Watt money and if both sides operated in good faith, a deal would get done. The market for the player was obvious, as was the value of the position and the need of the team.

Here, the market for the player is equally obvious but the value of the position and the need for the team remains in question. If Berry won't even deal at market, then move on.

Is Harrison Smith worth what he got paid?
