HUGE gap with Houston
“Huge” gap exists between Chiefs, Justin Houston
Posted by Mike Florio on August 5, 2014, 4:28 PM EDT Houston AP Linebacker Justin Houston was sufficiently upset with the lack of a new contract to skip the offseason program. But he showed up for training camp, realizing that the best way to get paid is to complete the final year of his rookie deal. The Chiefs rewarded Houston for honoring his current obligations by offering a new contract. Houston didn’t like it. Per a league source, a “huge” gap current exists between the team’s offer and Houston’s demands. It’s unclear whether that gap will be closed before the season ends and the Chiefs have to decide whether to use the franchise tag. If they don’t work out new deals with Houston and Alex Smith, they’ll have to choose between them. Maybe the Chiefs will choose neither. The team’s ultimate position on Houston will depend on the development of rookie Dee Ford. Currently, Ford is listed as the second-string right outside linebacker, behind Tamba Hali.

So the Chiefs tried to lowball one of their players on a contract?
Hard to believe. |

With Tamba at the tail end of his career, Houston is by far the most important player to the organization's future. He needs to be the priority.

Couldn't agree more. Houston and Dee Ford. Not Dee Ford and Tamba.

No question. I think making Alex play with the tag is the right move.

This is just insane. He is much needed on this team. Look at the defensive production after he went out last year....

Dee Ford is STRICTLY a rolb. His drafting had nothing to do with Houston's deal.

Of course there's a huge gap. There's no rush to get him signed. He's here the next two seasons minimum. They can keep making low offers and see if he'll take one of them.
