If you get rid of them who do you replace them with currently on the roster that even has a remote chance of putting up 13 sacks? Now, who do you replace the second one with that is capable of putting up 9 sacks and is great at stopping the run, good in coverage, and not to mention in a leader in the locker room? ****ing nobody. Not a single ****ing player on the current roster would come close to matching their production. Who do you sign and how do you afford to sign two of them?
If you get rid of everybody but Jones, QBs will have all ****ing day in the pocket and it wouldn't matter if we had Ramsey, Petersen, and Thomas in the secondary... well that might be enough to mitigate the leagues worst pass rush.
What will probably happen is tagging Ford, fielding offers, then most likely keeping him, they will try to restructure Houston and Berry, sign Jones really long term if possible, same for Hill, then they will draft an all-new secondary, sign an average LB and safety.

The zero chance Dee Ford "walks". He's going to be tagged and everybody knows it, so I wouldn't get too bent out of shape about people using that phrase - it's figurative.
As for Justin Houston, he needs to take a pay cut. If he refuses, then what? It's definitely likely they'll let him walk, meaning go away and get nothing in return.
You can't just keep everybody, change coordinators, add some scrubs, and expect to get better. This defense was HISTORICALLY bad. Keeping it together would be monumentally stupid.
