On the field he is phenomenal at doing his job. It just so happens Sutton asked him to do shit that took him away from what he is best at, which is getting to the QB. Put him at DE, put a decent secondary behind him, and watch him and Jones **** up teams.

Houston's big problem is he hasn't been healthy and produced since he signed his contract. He had 22 sacks the year before his contract and about 30 total in all the years since. He's not worth the 21M cap hit. Not when you get similar production for 1/3 of the money and can use the rest to sign a stud FA CB or safety to dramatically improve this defense.
