I get all the arguments against it being Ford. Injury history, poor run defender. I'd probably rather have Houston but that may be just sentimental. He's better all around, but also an injury problem.
It's gotta be one. Ford is cheaper. Draft his replacement and let him walk next year.

Sign a free agent that has actually demonstrated the ability to stay healthy. Sign him to a cap friendly 2019 deal.
By tagging Ford, they're all in on him for 2019. That's not a risk I would be willing to take, but then again, who am I?
