Let’s be more specific here.
In 2019, Houston is $21.1M to kept and $7.1M to cut.
But Dee ford and Allen Bailey are off the books at a total of over $17M.
Additionally, Maclin, Smith, DJ, and Tamba all count as dead money this year but not next.
Extending a 30 year old Houston two years, converting a large portion of his 2019 and 2020 salary to signing bonus gives him more money up front and guaranteed, but reduces his overall cap hit every year to a much more manageable amount.
This is why the best way to save money on Houston is paying him more. It’s just math.
