Houston is still our best linebacker and will probably be our best DE if we keep him.
I just wish he wasn't on that absurd contract.
I trust Houston more than Ford.
The only problem with Houston is his knee. Houston was way more effective on the line of scrimmage instead of playing in space as a standup linebacker. He also seem to get some strength back in his knee towards the end of the season.
I don't think Ford can play anywhere other than RDE. I don't know how he will be against the run. We don't know if he will continue to improve or drop back to being a dumbass. I'm not sure we can afford to pay that huge contract until we know. Tagging him and then giving Ford a contract will push the price even higher.
Somebody said that Ford was worth a 1st in trade. If we can get a 1st+ then we should probably just go ahead and trade him. We have too many shitty contracts right now.
