also that pretty much seals the fact that Ford is getting tagged

My unbiased take would be it makes sense to cut Houston if we want the best possible fit for our new scheme.
My fan preference would be to restructure and keep him. I still think he's a top 15 OLB in this league and when used properly he still has the ability to take over a game.

Well... Houston is in a different situation. Berry has leverage because cutting him is a huge cap hit. Houston doesn't have leverage because he knows he's an easy cut. Players won't hand over guaranteed money. But it's not uncommon at all for a player nearing the end of his contract to extend to a much cheaper contract by basically turning base salary into bonus. Houston is a lot more worried right now about his next contract than his current one.

As I mentioned in the other thread, that 12up article is referencing Nate Taylor's speculation from last week. It's not "new" news nor do I think Taylor ever said they're getting cut, he just said it makes sense to cut them.
That being said, Houston isn't going to take a pay cut. He has all the leverage. The Chiefs, if they want to tag and keep Ford, are going to HAVE to cut him. Berry and Houston don't HAVE to do anything. |

He might sign a big contract that he won't ever see most of but no one is paying him 18 million this upcoming season. He'd probably make more restructuring here...

I’d think he could probably still get 12-14 per year with a team like Green Bay or something
