I think it's easy to mistake pride for anger.
I don't think Houston was an asshole or a miscreant. But I think that's as proud a man as you'll find in this game. And when someone comes for your money, like it or not, admit it or not, that's a shot to your pride and someone like Houston won't take that lightly.
I wouldn't mind bringing him back at the right price point. I wouldn't mind letting him go either (people are really understating how ineffective he was in the run game last year after years of being dominant in that regard).
When a players strengths start to slip, the walls not far away. Houston probably has another season left in him but seeing him fall off against the run like he did also made me wonder if he's not just teetering on the brink of completely ineffective.
