Keeping Houston at $21 and trading Ford's $16 m leaves you at -$5 net. Cutting Houston leaves $8 in dead money, and keeping Ford will cost you $16 m. = -$24 million net. Right? |

holy shit, is that right?
It's literally cheaper to keep Houston than Ford. I hadn't looked at it from that angle. $21 million to keep Houston $24 million give or take to cut him and keep Ford. |

well, I mean unless i'm missing something.
Wow. Yeah. When you look at it like that, I'm tagging and trading Ford ASAP. Best pass rusher on the market, you're gonna get a nice pick out of that. Play Houston one more year, draft his replacement with the Ford pick and get on with your life. Last edited by Chris Meck; 02-21-2019 at 06:09 PM.. |

I’m in the minority that badly wants to keep them both. Houston was a beast in all aspects of the game when he was healthy last year. Ford was one of the top 5 pass rushers in the league but without Houston they’ll double him and he’ll likely fade into being a good but not great OLB.

I think we've been looking at this all wrong.
Of course the tag for Ford was coming; right move no matter what. I don't think they keep Ford. He's literally more expensive. I think the plan IS and has always been to trade him on the tag and keep Houston. It's literally cheaper and he's the better all-around player. |

It's literally cheaper to keep the better all around player; and you'll pick up a high pick too. I mean it's kind of a no-brainer. You draft a DE with the Ford pick and then next year you can cut Houston with only $1.5 m dead cap. There's no ****ing way that's not the plan. Either way it goes you're going to get at least a #2 for Ford. You'll have 4 picks in the first two rounds. Even if you stand pat, you can get a CB, a S, and a DE in that first 64 picks. |

A team trading for Houston would be getting him with no guaranteed money and 2years for about 31m.
A team trading for Ford would be getting him on a 1 year deal for about 16. When you trade for a player, you only owe the base salary, the trading team is on the hook for the prorated portion of what’s already been paid in a bonus. |

Pay 'em both.
Hell the Broncos manipulated and paid players under the table for years. Why doesn't Clark just say "Hey take a paycut to help our books, and I'll make up the difference under the table off record" Problem solved. If you aint cheatin, you aint tryin.
