You're paying Peter to rob Paul.
Extending Houston, who is 30, is on the back side of his career. I think we have seen his best years. Now I think he could have a nice year next season, which is why I'm willing to keep and pay him, but extending him for multiple years to free up a few million dollars in cap space will look bad sooner than you think.
