We have a shit ton of cap space so money doesn't matter here. Houston appears to still have gas in the tank.

I hope, in addition to being productive himself, that he does for Turay and Lewis what Mitchell did for Wilson last year.

The biggest concern I would have in that type of switch is the ability to defend the run. But from what I know Houston is very good against the run. He can’t be any more of a liability than Turay.

But most of the time we are in sub packages. He will pretty much just have to rush the passer.
