Still not worried. They're not letting him walk, and he'll get paid.
It's called negotiating, and it's just an opening offer. Is there going to be a story about our GM and front office upset and angry when Houston's agent throws out a completely impossible max dollar, top money contract; probably in the area of making him the highest paid defensive player in the league or around there? Getting emotional about it when you have a contract you agreed to, or worked up about an initial offer, is just ignorant and silly. Justin will be making plenty of $$$ once they get serious about a deal. This is non-news.

The Giants play a 4-3 and drafted a superior overall defensive line. Here was their DL for the 2011 season. 95 Rocky Bernard DT 99 Chris Canty DT 97 Linval Joseph DT 73 Jimmy Kennedy DT 90 Jason Pierre-Paul DE 71 Dave Tollefson DE 69 Justin Trattou DE 91 Justin Tuck DE 72 Osi Umenyiora DE It's ****ing genius when you consider Strahan was gone at that point. The Chiefs D is totally dependent on their OLBs as evidenced by the collapse against the Chargers when Houston and Hali got boo boos. To witness the pandering the Chiefs are doing for Houston should make you want to vomit as a fan yet you're all lulled into a state of bliss knowing you have players to carry the torch of DT. It's sad... |

he needs to show that he can stay healthy. It would also be nice to see him show up regularly and in big games. He piled up sack numbers in relatively few games against rookie tackles like Joeckel.
If he puts in a full season of consistent play, he deserves to get paid next season. Until then, someone remind him that he's playing on the contract he has, because he was drafted where the Chiefs took him, because of his own bad choices. Shut up and play. |

Let's sufficiently piss off Justin Houston. |

They don't have the cap space to pay him what he wants even if they wanted to do so.
I think Bowe and or Hali are going to have to go for Houston and Smith to stay. |

I think just Hali would do it. Either that or have him take an extension that cuts his pay & cap hit significantly.

I agree here, but will add that most of the better pass rushers "pile up" sacks against weaker opponents.

Yeah, but what separates the Elite pass rushers from those who are just good is the fact that they can do it against the best OTs in the business and not just scrubs and rookies in their first career games. I have yet to see Houston do anything more than just beat on scrubs and rookie OTs.

I also think Bowe would do a restructure for some bonus money.

If he puts up top 5 sacks this year, he deserves top 5 money.

He hasn't put up elite production as of yet (some opinions around here think not) but you're paying for the future that he likely will.

When everybody from Jeff ****ing Tuel to Peyton Manning was getting rid of the ball in less than 2 seconds on every play, what was Houston supposed to do? The defense will improve (hopefully) and with that, Houston's sack numbers will go up. |
