Your Houston Texans continue to trim the roster, and even those with cool hyphenated surnames aren't safe. First it was Quinn Gray and Jordan Black; now they can extend bids for membership in their exclusive club to Curome Cox and Ryan Grice-Mullen.

Cox, as fans will recall, was signed back in November when Dunta went down; given the heated competition in the secondary, his departure is not a big surprise. Grice-Mullen was brought in as an undrafted rookie free agent. Although the kid has speed, an injury prevented him from seeing the field during OTAs. And you know how the old saying goes: You can't make the club in the tub unless your name is Ahman Green. On second thought, I may have messed that quote up. I'm not good with words.

Regardless, keep an eye on the newswire; four (4) more players have to be released to get down to the 80 player max mandated by the NFL.

Monday morning brought about the news that the Texans would not retain the services of Jordan Black or Quinn Gray.  In the wake of the final day of OTAs, GM Rick Smith and Coach Kubiak addressed several questions from the media.  Smithiak discussed what was, what is, and what will be as the Texans put the OTAs behind them and prepare to head into training camp.  All quotes courtesy of www.houstontexans.com.

Holy $hit! While the end of the Turnstile Era brings a smile to my face, I am freaking shocked that your Houston Texans ended their relationship with Quinn Gray a little more than two (2) months after they brought him on board as a free agent. The only reason we've heard thus far is that he "didn't adjust well to the Texans' system." Obviously, there has to be more to this story for the team to have cut ties with a dude they just signed; I imagine we'll learn more as the days pass. But right now? I'm speechless.
