Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

PUT YOUR NAME ON IT: Now That The Lockout Is Officially Over, Who Will Your Houston Texans Sign?

The lockout is over.

At 9 a.m. CDT tomorrow, your Houston Texans can begin negotiating with and signing their own drafted rookies and any undrafted rookie free agents.

At 9 a.m. CDT tomorrow, your Houston Texans can begin negotiating with--but not signing or extending offer sheets to--their own unrestricted free agents, their own restricted free agents, exclusive rights players, and/or franchise players, as well as other teams’ unrestricted free agents, restricted free agents, non-exclusive franchise players and/or free agents.

Any actual contracts, however, cannot be signed until Friday at 5 p.m. CDT.

In other words, things are about to get crazy.

Star-divide

After months of idle speculation, by the end of the week, we should know which, if any, free agents will be Texans in 2011. With that in mind, I beseech you to, for the sake of posterity, to put your name on it: Which players will sign contracts with the Texans?

Nnamdi AsomughaJohnathan JosephEric WeddleGerald SensabaughMichael HuffCarlos RogersIke Taylor?

Jacoby Jones? Vonta Leach? Matt Leinart?

Jacques Reeves? Ahman Green? Todd Wade?

Your thoughts, BRB?

Jacoby for sure

I have no idea about anyone else.

by Stevie Wonder on Jul 25, 2011 8:12 PM CDT reply actions  

I agree Jacoby is coming back.

I’m betting it’s a pretty good chance we’ll be signing Gerald Sensabaugh with an outside chance of us getting Eric Weddle. I guess you can throw Huff in there as well.

As far as corner It’s probably Nnamdi and Joseph as the top two players the Texans will pursue. After them I have no idea who might be targeted. Maybe Antonio Cromartie or a guy like Drayton Florence who’s played for Wade before but it’s to hard to tell.

Either way it will be rather exciting to see what happens in the next 4 days.

No matter how bad it gets,I will believe.It's the only thing I have left for the Texans.

Agreed on Jacoby

Jacoby for sure. Vonta won’t be coming back, Leinart as well. Just a hunch… And I would love to snag Sensabaugh since he already knows of Wade’s 3-4, and I truly think being under him again would influence his decision at least a wee bit. As for corner I’m thinking as a glass half full kinda guy- whoever it is, it will be better than who we were going to play otherwise.

I think Joe Flacco is overrated.

Scrabble is out of our price range

Remember, we’re only less than $8 million under the cap. Even if we restructured a number of contracts, Asomugha would eat up all of that money. Same goes for Jonathan Joseph

Murphy’s 20th Military Law:
If it’s stupid, but it works, it ain’t stupid

by The Night Owl on Jul 26, 2011 1:17 AM CDT up reply actions  

not quite

I believe its 8 million under the 120. The CBA allows you to borrow from future salary caps and such to get it up to nearly 127 million. Okoye and Slaton’s 2011 salary is 4.15 million. Anthony Hill and Antwaun Molden are worth a million. Hell if we can let Dan O go, he’s worth 2.75 million. All of that would total nearly 23 million in cap room. Restructuring some veterans could free up some more. We could get Scrabble if they want him bad enough, I think the issue is going to be that we have alot of other holes that need attention in free agency as well.

I wish we could hire coaches without "having grown up in Houston" being a job requirement.

by DaGoaT on Jul 26, 2011 8:06 AM CDT up reply actions  

Antonio Cromartie is asking for about $8 million a year

That’s more reasonable

Murphy’s 20th Military Law:
If it’s stupid, but it works, it ain’t stupid

by The Night Owl on Jul 26, 2011 8:40 AM CDT up reply actions  

Remember that the three million dollar exception is only borrowed from a future cap

If we use that then that’s three less million in cap room we will have later. I’m not sure how that works, so it will depend on how you can spread that out in the future.

Also, How much dead money will we have to absorb by cutting a guy. I don’t know how that all works. Under the old rules Hill, Molden, and Slaton would likely be pain free. Okoye’s would have part of his signing bonus still taking up cap space. I have no idea how that all changes with the new rules though.

Even if we can create that much space would it be worth it to throw most of it at one player? Will that hurt our chances at being able to re-ign guys like Mario, Foster, and Schaub over the next year or two?

Scrabble, "Makes" Sensabaugh, Stephen Cooper, Malcolm Floyd,

Mario renegotiates, Vonta leaves, Jacoby leaves, Slaton gets traded to Tampa Bay for a sixth round pick, Amobi is a cap casualty, Jason Allen resigns, Antonio Smith renegotiates, Butler leaves, Briesel resigns for peanuts.

Missing anyone?

Why Floyd over Jacoby? Floyd did what Jacoby can’t: survive being a #1 target (while V-Jax was holding out). WE need a number 2 who can step up if AJ gets hurt. And I bet Floyd signs for about teh same as Jacoby.

Didn't Jacoby do exactly that?

When we sat Andre towards the end of the season, he played his best football. We don’t need a back-up #1; we need somebody who can stretch the field and stay sharp even with limited opportunities. Actually, we don’t even need that. We need somebody—no, three somebodies—who can actually cover a receiver. Unless Floyd wants the league minimum, why bother?

We might actually close a game with the defense holding the other team to negative yardage!

Not out of the realm of possibilities since our miserable defense of 2010 held the shutout game with the BESFs to 18 yards rushing (with Chris Johnson to only 5 on seven carries).

Terrence Tolliver (LSU WR) may be Houston bound

Deunta Williams…..rumor is he isn’t healthy.

Tolli was good at LSU

Not upset by this UDFA either, though I assume it’s just more camp fodder for our new CB/S combo ;)

I hope we DON'T go after JJ this offseason

There’s no need in my mind. We can fuse some other WR with Walter to make a just as good #2.

I feel it's as good as a sure thing

to get Jacoby back as the 3. Dorin’s the 4…..DA’s probably a cap casualty.

i am the biggest fan if we put Dickerson as our #3

but you can’t just put together your #2 and #3 and call it a good #2…thats fucking ridiculous…you have to compare your #2 and #3 to other teams #2’s and #3’s…

Man. I think we get one of Scrabble or Joseph.

We have to. McNair has to.

Im gonna be uber optimistic and say we do. Sensabaugh for the S is pretty much a lock.

gotta work fast

to get the roster up to 90 before camp starts this weekend.

I wish we could hire coaches without "having grown up in Houston" being a job requirement.

So will that list not be released

until they sign after 10?

I'll be honest

That makes me nervous. Throwing huge money like that at one player rarely works out. Of course it is also making me giddy as a schoolgirl at the same time. I’m so conflicted.

I'm not really sure

His last deal was 3 years 48 million. He made about 25 mill the first two years of that deal.

something along the lines of 12-15 million a year avg over the life of the deal. How it might be structured to minimize cap impact I don’t know. I’m sure there are ways to make it easier to swallow, but my understanding is the cap is more closely tied to cash spent vs. all the accounting tricks they used in the past.

it doesnt take a long to check in and out to the site. But worse case scenario I could get sent to the jobsite and that would be disastrous.

Can anyone enlighten me on why we signed a guy who's pleaded guilty to dealing drugs?

It was mushrooms, but still that’s kinda against Bob McNairs demands to be clean.

Or Matt Shuab. Then again with Shuab he may think he’s already high
