The Houston Texans currently have two former New England Patriots quarterbacks on their roster. With Tom Savage being sent to injured reserve for the year, the team has an opening for a third signal-caller if they want to carry three (3) QBs this year. It appears maintaining a troika of QBs is something they're serious about doing, and it should come as no surprise that one of their targets has a history with the Patriots.
Matt Cassel was cut by the Bills on Saturday, which meant he was free to sign anywhere he wanted. Cassel chose to re-sign with Buffalo this morning, but the man had options.
Bills re-signed QB Matt Cassel. Ok then.

Hearing #Bills offered a better deal to Matt Cassel than #Texans w bonus structure that could potentially recoup most of lost pay.

Matt Cassel getting a reported offer from the Texans is proof that if you ever took a snap at QB in NE, Houston will sign you.

The Texans could--and have!--done a lot worse than Matt Cassel at QB, so you won't see me flipping out over this report. What say you? Even though Cassel won't be coming to Houston, do you believe the Texans should carry three QBs on the roster this year? Or are Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett enough QB goodness for you?
