I'm just not keen on $15M (or more, if they have to tag him as a 4-3 DE) sitting on the bench all year, after what just happened with Berry.

Houston can be moved around. Ford cannot. I would tag ford and trade for a pick, hopefully to draft a MLB or true SAM. Houston can play the weak end/rush end easily.

That would be my preference by far. I know people covet sacks but I really just don't like Ford. The injury history screams "let him go somewhere else".

Yeah I agree. The injury history and the fact that Houston is just more versatile. If Ford had to reduce down from a 9 to 5 because of some formation shifts.. I just don't know if he can hold it. I also don't know what LB's are available in the draft. SAM needs to be able to at least carry vertical with a TE. I've heard Anthony Barr's name tossed around as a potential FA candidate.. but we will see. Should be fun to see what Spags does.
