Has Lamarr Houston Earned Himself A Contract?......

yes. not as a starter but as a backup

If he was 56 and had productive sacks, he deserves a contract. If age scares some then do an incentive contract. I will take a sack from a 31 year old as fast as I will from a 24 year. Just sign the guys that produce sacks.

How do you distinguish between a starter and a backup when we rotate players at OLB as often as we do.  That's an aging concept these days.  It can't be based on whose on the field for the first series so maybe it's based on snaps? 

Think about it and then add to that when starters go down as often as ours have the second line guys in the rotation end up as starters and getting more snaps anyway.  Age is nothing more than how we recall when we were born.  Pep is 37 and still getting double digit sack but he's another guy we released way back in 2014.  He's had 35 sacks since then or roughly the same number he had in 4 years as a Bear but at 34 he was too old huh?  LMAO

Enough of this well he's this age or that age.  Look at the player not some trite bs some media guy writes.  He's also only played 34 out of 62 games since 2014 so that would mean less wear and tear too wouldn't it?  Injuries have been his issue not a lack of production due to age and that should be obvious by what he'd done since he got here.  We need to use some common sense again and stop parroting what some sportswriter says.

Make him a fair offer for a couple of years and maybe guaranteed year one if necessary.  It may not be.  I don't know what other offers he may attract but he's here trying to prove himself already and doing it.  That's more than we can say for a half dozen other FAs we picked up this year.   We need to pay producers not non-producers.  Wow, imagine that concept!
