I have a hunch that maybe they might want to give Spags a clean lockerroom, no distractions. Sign a couple veterans that he likes to fill holes, draft heavy on defense again and go at it.
I don't want to hear about 'but the passrush' because Ford is one dimensional and not worth the money he'll get, Houston is injured half the time, and Berry all the time.

I agree, but I honestly think they will extend Houston. I think he fights marvelously into the 4-3 as being able to play either DE position as well as the SAM.
If I am Veach, I am working hard to extend Houston, converting his salary to signing bonus and thus guaranteeing it, but bringing his cap number down to around 12M for the next three years, which seems to be appropriate value.
