The hope here is that a deadline can spur some action as they tend to do. I'm not convinced that it will considering it seems that the two sides are far apart. Something has to give between the two sides if they're going to do a deal.

The question is how much Houston is worth. Our own MNChiefsfan took a look at JJ Watt's contract and came to the conclusion that Houston probably is worth Watt. You can debate that here.

I continue to believe that a deal will not get done, Houston will skip training camp and arrive sometime before the start of the season. That's just a prediction though. If I had inside info, I'd be telling you.
