Ford is good. Scary good. Someone is going to overpay unfortunately but that won't change the facts that he's a 26 year old Canadian allstar and the best corner in the league.

Don't see any GM going over $150k for a DB, especially the position Ford plays, only Adarius Pickett at SAM and Marc-Antoine Dequoy as Safety are paid above that mark. 

Ford is an elite CB but playing beside Holm helped him improve rapidly, during the early season losing streak they were on he made some errors in judgement.

Houston got a 2 year deal for $275K in hard money... so $135k for Holm (who I think is better) is a pretty good deal.

Yes but that was for 2 years not per year. That's the same as Holm but his contract is for 1 year.

Exactly.  We got a better player for $2500 per year less.

Houston got bit by the WFC-D-player-leaving-for-big-payday curse.  Injuries and basically accomplished nothing in CGY.  He should have just stayed here at that budget KW set for him.
