You just always have to be on top, don’t you?

Chester Pitts – attempt to re-sign cheaply, if not, love you but bye.
Kevin Walter – same as Pitts
Ephraim Salaam – Bye
Rex Grossman – Bye
Chris Brown – Drown in Houston channel
Tutan Reyes – Bye
Jeff Zgonina – Depends on FA/Draft
Chaun Thompson – Bye
Khary Campbell – You’re just making up names now
Nick Ferguson – Bye
Brian Russell – Bye
Dunta Robinson – same as Pitts
Matt Turk – Not sure who the other available punters are, but inclined to look at them.
Bryan Pittman – Whatever

DeMeco Ryans – First and third round tender with eye towards long-term deal
Tim Bulman – Smallest tender
Bernard Pollard – Second round tender
John Busing – Reassigned to childrens play ground where missing tackles is a good thing.
Ryan Moats – Like him, but not different enough from Slaton and Foster, no thanks.
Rashad Butler – Not worth the tender
Chris White – Smallest tender
Owen Daniels – First round tender

I quit sports.

Ryans and Pollard would get long-term deals. The defense was improving, and those two played well all season.

Who I want to return if cheap enough:

Pitts, Walter, Dunta, and Daniels (2nd round tender if we can’t work anything out).

Who may or may not return based on what’s available out there in FA or the draft:
Grossman, Zgonia, Ferguson, Turk, Moats, and Pittman.

Who’s 100% gone:
Salaam, Brown, Reyes, Thompson, Campbell, Russell, Bulman, Busing, and Butler.

No love for the Sex Cannon in these parts??

We’re better off than I thought were were. Out of all of our unrestricted free agents, none would really break us if they left. I’d resign Pitts, Walter, Robinson, and Turk if we can get them with reasonable contracts. If a team is willing to pay massive $ to get them however, let them have em.

Having restricted free agents really isn’t as big a deal because if we want to keep them on roster, we can without much risk of losing them or getting awesome value in return, which also makes it more likely that we keep them. Ryans, Daniels, and Pollard we should keep. Bulman too for that matter, give him a 5th round qualifying offer then if another team chooses to sign him we have the otpion of keeping him on or having an addition 5th rounder.

Do what must be done to ensure that Demeco, Owen, and Bernard are Texans next year and lock them up with long-term deals.

Dunta’s been humbled by the cold reception to his demands last year. Maybe he’ll be willing to redo his deal for the chance to keep these three…..yeah, right, and Oprah Winfrey’s gonna put me on the cover of her magazine…….

SL

Sign Demeco to five year deal Pollard to four year deal And F-Tag Owen, then sign Richard Seymor to three year deal N get Carlos Rogers

RB Jerome Harrison UFA Cleveland Browns Free Agent > I think he has some potential..

PK Jay Feely UFA New York Jets Free Agent > Ok.. i’ll take every kicker over Kris Brown..

OG Bobbie Williams UFA Cincinnati Bengals Free Agent > He’s so mean!

DL Casey Hampton UFA Pittsburgh Steelers Free Agent > Would he fit in a 4-3?

DL Vince Wilfork UFA New England Patriots Free Agent > No chance, but would be nice.

FS Antoine Bethea UFA Indianapolis Colts Free Agent > admitted.. he’s a colt, but he’s a ballhawk!

CB Will Blackmon UFA Green Bay Packers Free Agent > very underrated corner, but did have a serious injury.

FS C.C. Brown UFA New York Giants Free Agent > NO WAY IN HELL!

CB Terrence McGee UFA Buffalo Bills Free Agent > Here’s a good corner?!

I just don’t buy the 3-4 to 4-3 DL can’t be done argument.

Your job is essentially same. Be a giant fatass and plug up the middle. Command the double team so guys like Mario and Barwin can go off.

since were just saying names of people we want and wont get

Resign Pollard, OD, Meco, and only cheaply – Pitts, Walter, Moats, Turk, Bulman

then go after reggie nelson and quinten groves from Jax (who they have been rumored to possibly cutting) and then get Wilfork!
