Personally I think it'd be good if they just moved on from the aging injury prone older players at this point. Berry and Houston have literally played in something stupid like 35 out of 100 possible games together. That isn't accurate but it's something like that.

Ya it is really low. But houston hasn't had near the amount of injuries that ford or berry have. I don't think he is worth 21M a year, but when you look at the bigger picture and see we have a year to year option on releasing him I like the flexibility.
The ideal scenario to me would be tag/trade ford and draft a pass rusher. keep houston for one more year while he, kpass and speaks develop then release houston next year and have no big contracts at all. I just think if you release houston then that is a sign they're gonna dole out another bloated contract and find themselves in the same situation rather than bite the bullet for one more year while guys develop.
