Chiefs expected to renew talks with star linebacker Justin Houston on Tuesday

The deadline for agreeing to a long-term deal with star outside linebacker Justin Houston is fast approaching, but it appears both sides will come together for another discussion.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, talks between the two sides — which have recently been quiet — are expected to renew on Tuesday, one day before Wednesday’s 3 p.m. league deadline.

Pro Football Talk reported the news first.

The Chiefs have until Wednesday to work out a long-term contract with Houston, who has been offered a one-year, $13.1 million nonexclusive franchise tender by the Chiefs.
