I don't care too much either way. Id love to keep him. I was only pointing out that restructuring is absolutely an option for us, but it has to be at the right price.

The way I see it...KC led the NFL in sacks and still ranked 31st in defense.
They couldn't stop a nose bleed went it mattered...Houston still has trade value. He was going to have to restructure his contract anyways... Trade him, get a mid round pick, and net $14 million...reinforce the back end. Chiefs literally needed one stop more a game...and legitimate officiating. Berry's ridiculous $16 mil hit is keeping KC from capitalizing on Mahomes cheap contract...all for a player that will contribute almost nothing. $37 million for Houston/Berry...if they stay put. Could rebuild the entire defense with that.. One of the two (Ford/Houston) has to go...just not to the Pats/Colts. |

We don't know what our options are with Berry. It's possible that we're just ****ed and have to eat it. Or it's possible that we could cut him June 1. I don't know what happens exactly if he retires. |

If you want to trade someone, it has to be Ford. Nobody is going to trade for Houston at his salary.
Houston doesn't want to take a pay cut so they're going to be forced to cut him. |

This. Pressures don't mean shit if the defenders at the receiving end of the football can't capitalize on them.

If a new team traded for him...they would rip up his old contract (which has no guaranteed money left) and he would renegotiate or they could pay him the remaining $14 million (not likely) then have him playing at a reduced rate that is more in tune with his age/production. Houston wont see $21 million from anyone...including KC but still has trade value if he works out a new contract in advance. |

Everybody's all like-The Colts have SO MUCH CAP ROOM-and yeah, they do, but they also have so few players under contract that they're still going to have to be judicious about how much they spend on individuals. |

He can force KC to cut him, paying him $8 million. Then he can go freely negotiate the best deal he can get abroad, already $8 ahead of the game. AND everybody knows we can't pay him; they know we're going to have to cut him. We have no leverage. He has all the leverage. |

I would MUCH rather keep him over Ford, that's for damn sure
We need complete, tough football players, not oft injured one trick ponies... Houston may be aging, but he is the more well rounded player by a country mile |
