The Houston restructure just seems to make too much sense for it not to happen. Good at one price, not good at another. Houston isn’t worth what his contract is against the cap (few NFL players are), but he’s still a damn fine player. I personally don’t care what Clark has to pay out of pocket, and there is no luxury tax in this sport.
If we convert his money to a bonus and give him 2 extra years at value pricing, not only does he get more cash up front and the same sum total for 2019, but he also gets a little insurance for himself in the years ahead.
The other choice for him would be to bet on himself that his free market deal would give him more money over a 4 year period, which I’m just not sure about. Plus he’d be giving up on Mahomes and a chance to win a title with a team that I truly think he is invested in. Unless they flat out think he can’t play anymore (he’s proven otherwise on the field and I don’t see him falling off a cliff in the off-season) there is really no good reason not to make this happen.
The better the team can make itself with His freed up cash, the better they all look. His job will be easier and his value goes up. When it’s time for that new deal in 3-4 years, maybe he can squeak out one more payday on the heels of a couple of titles and above average statistical seasons.
