    Even this Houston outshines the useless Dupree.

    How did Justin Houston fare against the Steelers last season?

    Daaaayyyyyuuuuuum. That is a great deal of money for I'm not sure what. Is Houston old and breaking down or just had a roughish year and it will all be fine?

    Yep. This is why you grin and pay Dupree $9M and Chickillo $4M.

    Ummm.....no. The price of FA over the hill talent is what's fucked up. Does anyone on here even remember Ladarius Green?

    The price we paid for two known useless players is actually higher, that's what's fucked up. At least there's like a 1-in-3 chance the Colts get something of value. We straight-up threw $13 million in the garbage can.

    Green was not even in the same ballpark, we paid him something like $4 million total. That was a pretty low-risk move that unfortunately didn't pay out.

    Keep in mind the Colts did enter with the most cap space in the NFL, so they have the money to spend. Justin Houston may be past his prime but I would still take him over a thoroughly mediocre yet somehow overrated Bud Dupree and an utterly useless Anthony Chickillo at $4 million

    Being highly paid does not make you a better player. He's looked pretty useless to me other than on special teams, which you cannot pay $4M for.

    The difference seems to be that I don’t view those 2 as a waste of money. Letting those 2 walk in hopes of getting a Justin Houston would not have cost $12M a season had that been the case. Because we had nobody the cost would have been closer to the CJ Mosely $17M per season instead. Not a prediction of actual money just pointing out it is not apples to apples.

    Plus the Ladarius Green point is these players are damaged goods. And we have no idea to what extent. You simply don’t throw that amount of money at FA with mileage. It doesn’t work more often than it does.
