How does Justin Houston’s deal measure up two years later?

On July 15, 2017, the Kansas City Chiefs signed Justin Houston to a six-year, $101 million contract. Almost two years later, I think it’s time to see how good that contract has been to this point.

To begin to review, you have to go back one year before Houston was even signed. Before the 2014 NFL season, the pressing debate centered on who should get paid first: Justin Houston or Alex Smith? I wish I’d been writing for Arrowhead Addict at that time because the entire conversation drove me nuts and I would have loved this outlet.
