If you let Houston go then you'll probably end up having to keep some other scrubs simply because you just can't turn over the entire defense in one offseason.
I'd rather pay Houston $20m for his production than keep a bunch of Sorensons and Raglands around. |

I don't see many teams giving up a 2nd for that price tag. I'd be surprised if we could get a 4th.

I don’t think I’d cut him, but if they could get a day 2 draft pick, that’d be awesome.
I would absolutely ask him to take a pay cut. The way I see it, if he doesn’t show consistent effort and will to win over this next month, get rid of his ass. Yeah he’s better than what is behind him, but we’re paying him to be an elite player when it seems like he only tries half of the time. But this is all pending on keeping Ford. I would absolutely not get rid of both this offseason. |

I'd get rid of his salary and throw some numbers at the position. Markus Golden and Shane Ray are two reclamation projects that I think together could equal the recent production of Houston at a fraction of the cost.

I think the best plan might be to get a new DC, free up money and get a bunch of solid defenders in FA while trying again in the draft. If a corner or linebacker we love is at around pick 25, use Houston to trade up.

I LOVE what Ford has done this year, but even paying him long term scares the shit out of me. He’s even been banged up a few times this year and just played through it.
I have little faith that he will be able to stay on the field consistently throughout a contract extension. Stop me if that sounds familiar... |

Preston Smith would make a nice replacement for Houston if they stick with a 3-4 and should be half the price. Food for thought.
I've been a staunch defender of Houston for some time now, but seeing him quit on that play last week was the last straw for me. Trade him for whatever you can get for him. I put a 4th and swap of 6th's in my mock. I don't see them getting much more than that to be honest. Maybe a 3rd. Surely not a 2nd. |

Houston did a lot of contain stuff last week because Russell Wilson is Russell Wilson. He just kind of strafed the LOS when Wilson would roll or slide toward him. |

I was on a TD run by the RB. Later in the game iirc. Pretty sure someone also posted a video of it in the Lounge but not sure. He basically stopped playing and watched the guy run in when he was close enough to at least make an attempt at tackling him before he got to the end zone. It was a bullshit play on his behalf.

Houston fights through an OL. It's actually hilarious the ease with which Houston just throws this dude to the side, but unfortunately Houston ended up throwing the guy in the direction that the rusher was running so it effectively sealed him off from making the play.. But that wasn't a lack of effort. People just see what they want to see. |

Would you prefer to bring in more Hitchens types? That dude's cap hit is like $9m and he's absolute garbage. I'd pay for three Houston's before I'd pay for two Hitchenses. |
