F.Chowds Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday that the club will place the franchise tender on defensive end Justin Houstonjust a few months after he finished the 2014 season as the NFL's sack leader (22). ESPN first reported the development. Houston is just 26 and has made three straight Pro Bowls in Kansas City. The tag, which will cost the Chiefs roughly $14 million, is a relative bargain considering the mega-deal a team would have been willing to hand Houston on the open market. With pass rushers at an increasing premium, the move ensures Andy Reid and the Chiefs the opportunity to arrange some numbers so they can invest in Houston well beyond the 2015 season. The third-round pick out of Georgia has improved on his sack total every year he's been in the league. If he managed to do so again in 2015, he could tie or break Michael Strahan's single-season record of 22.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
