KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs will soon part with Justin Houston, the only remaining questions being the method (trade or release) and timing (certainly before the start of the new league year on March 13).
No matter how the Chiefs dispose of Houston or when, they have been setting up for this move for years, or since 2015 when he signed what at the time was the richest contract ever for a defensive player.
Houston was never going to live up to the six-year, $101 million contract, and he didn't.
