Battle Red Blog, a Houston Texans community

With a little help from his sources, Chron.com's Lance Zierlein suggests that this salary cap may not have a ceiling at all, at least in its first few years. I tend to agree with him. What do you think? Could the cap be soft/non-existent? Do the big team owners have another agenda here?

The news from Pro Football Weekly isn't much of a shock, but it looks like the Texans will attempt to retain their two key free agents on the offensive side of the ball. Whether they'll receive more lucrative offers from other teams is another story altogether. A little throwaway line at the end also foreshadows the uphill battle Trindon Holliday could face to make the team if there is a preseason and training camp. I'm going to place my bet on practice squad at best.

Unlike most years, undrafted free agents are still, well, free agents. The link above takes you to the list of 2011 undrafted players. Until the lockout is resolved, no one can sign, and some suggest that these guys may look at the CFL, UFL, and Arena League as serious options depending on how long this drags out. Still, the lockout won't stop us from speculating. I have seen some comments here and there about who to go after, so I thought there was some interest in a thread dedicated for this purpose. Some names I wouldn't mind seeing in Houston: All-American P Chas Henry (Florida), WR Dane Sanzenbacher (Ohio State), FS Deunta Williams (North Carolina), NT Ian Williams (Notre Dame), LB Mark Herzlich (Boston College), QB Pat Devlin (Delaware), and C/G Zane Taylor (Utah). Anyone catch your attention?
