I think paying a non-QB close to $20 million is detrimental to the hive. It's a violent position and all 3 KC pass rushers are currently nursing injuries.
If Houston plays every game during his contract, it pans out...when he is on the sideline, wasting a million+ a game...you give up the opportunity to hedge your bets and spread that money out.
Houston's contract will likely cost them Poe and S.Smith...which in turn, forces KC to spend high draft picks to replace them at a cheaper rate...that's the hidden cost. Smith goes to the Raiders and improves their direct competition.....so you not only lose picks...you bail out Oakland and save them a pick.
I dont like the math...and very rarely does a blockbuster deal pan out..from a pragmatic, fiscal perspective. It just appeases the fans... KC's blockbuster missed half the season/play-offs...and will probably miss the beginning of 2016.
So yes...please sign Miller to $65 million over three.
