Houston want to play hardball regardeing an extension. Ford is content to play on the tag and bet on himself. Houston can get ****ed.

Yup. Houston is a very curious case. If you're paying Houston $7.5m anyway, you can restructure his contract so we're basically paying him the same to stay here. He has about $5.6m in bonus money. Turn his base salary into a 5 year bonus. Pay him minimum base salary this offseason. It's basically adding maybe $2m extra to our cap.

And it still doesn't change the fact that the BETTER PLAYER as an all-around talent is literally cheaper PLUS you get a high pick in exchange for Ford who's value will never be higher as trade bait. I don't think there's anything other than an emotional argument against it. We're keeping Houston, at his $21 million. |

I can't blame him, I wouldn't either. Even if they DON'T convert some to bonus or whatever, he's still cheaper to keep than cut and pay Ford. He's about an equal pass rusher and a much better run defender. |

Houston is looking at options because we won't pay whats on his contract. That's on the Chiefs, not Houston. And I totally agree with both sides. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Chiefs are basically letting Houston see what he's worth and seeing if it's worth matching.

Trading Dee Ford only opens up 8 mil though, we’d have 8 mil in dead money.
Houston opens up 14 mil. Houston cost to keep: 21 Mil Ford cost to keep: 16 mil Houston savings: 14 mil Ford savings: 8 mil Outside of gaining the pick I don’t see how this would make complete financial sense? I’d prefer to keep a player that’s proven then put everything into a draft pick in a must win year. |

$16 m plus $7 to cut Houston = $23 million. If we tag and trade Ford, we pay nothing. Houston's $21 million. What am I missing? Ford is not under contract at the moment. There is no dead cap number. |
