One thing people don't seem to factor in is that Houston is absolutely on the books for $7M this year. So that 21M cap number means very little.

$14M. That's the number you should focus on. If Justin Houston were a street free agent, and it was going to cost you $14M to sign him for this year, would you do it?

I would. I think that's what his market value is. He's literally what everyone here is clamoring that Ford isn't: an all-round pass rusher who can also play the run, set an edge. If that's what Ford is going to cost - $14M - then why the hell would you ever cut Houston? Keep Houston, try to trade Ford, otherwise let him walk and get your comp pick.
Totally fair take. I get it.
