Chiefs' John Dorsey: 'I don't foresee Justin (Houston) going anywhere'

Kansas City Chiefs fans can breathe a sigh of relief - for now, at least - as general manager John Dorsey indicated Thursday that there's a good chance linebacker Justin Houston will be back with the team next season.

"I don't foresee Justin going anywhere," Dorsey said when asked by ESPN's Adam Teicher whether the Chiefs would use the franchise tag on Houston if the two sides are unable to agree to a long-term contract. 

Dorsey said he's spoken to Houston's agent and that contract talks are ongoing.

The Chiefs are projected to have very little cap space available in 2015, making Houston a prime candidate to be tagged.
