Agent's Take: A fair contract solution for Justin Houston and Chiefs | CBSSports.com
Justin Houston's contract situation is the latest example of this principle: The longer a team waits to sign a Pro Bowl-caliber player, the more it's going to cost, provided the player stays healthy. The Kansas City Chiefs missed an opportunity to sign Houston to a contract extension in the neighborhood of Tamba Hali's deal prior to the start of the 2014 regular season.

Justin Houston? You can't replicate a pass-rusher in his prime with a 3-D printer, but Dee Ford was drafted for a reason. Charles? You drafted Knile Davis for a reason, too. Alex Smith? Chase Daniel isn't Big 11, but the ex-Mizzou star should be 2-0 as a Chiefs starter. Sean Smith? See Charles, only replace "Marcus Peters and Steven Nelson" with Davis. Eric Fisher? Come on. Derrick Johnson? This crew came within a hair of the postseason without him. Mike DeVito? Same deal. There are important Chiefs, and there are indispensable Chiefs.
