Additionally, Maclin, Smith, DJ, and Tamba all count as dead money this year but not next.

Extending a 30 year old Houston two years, converting a large portion of his 2019 and 2020 salary to signing bonus gives him more money up front and guaranteed, but reduces his overall cap hit every year to a much more manageable amount.

This is why the best way to save money on Houston is paying him more. It’s just math.
And if he won't take a deal like that? He could get a much better contract on the open market, based on his name alone.

It's time to cut bait.
