Disclaimer: Injuries are tragic and I would never wish them blah blah blah blah

James Houston’s emergence last year was bittersweet because on one hand, you have an extremely cheap player who excels at the most expensive skill set: pass rush, yet because we cut him initially, we only have him through this year. That means if he were to replicate last year again, he would be commanding some pretty stupid numbers and we essentially lose out on that advantage. Well, him missing most of this season, I expect that salary to drop significantly, yet we keep the same player who will likely go back to being a pass rush menace, now available to us at 4 mil a year rather than the 8 he would likely have had if he threw out double digit sacks.
