Texans Sign Johnathan Joeseph!
 

Not going to be too popular, but I like it.

Terms to come.

@AdamSchefter: Texans reach agreement with former Bengals CB Johnathan Joseph on a five-year deal. Nnamdi to Jets looking more likely.

Not in the same class as Nnamdi or Revis but that's what happens when the team is a joke year in and year out.... So close man. I already had my $200 put aside to order my authentic Asomugha jersey.... i hate him now

I like it. I wish Weddle and Mikell hadn't signed yet, but the top safety should be our next target.

I dont think there will be wiggle room to sign a decent safety anymore. If anything, they will probably have to release some players.

I'm good with Johnathan Joseph, hope they can get a good safety.

Will be nice to see terms and impact elsewhee

I'm good with it. 3 years younger than Nnamdi and a good solid CB...

Don't buy cap as an issue
 

I expect to hear about contract extensions for mario and schaub by sunday to free up a bundle. My guess is this is just the first chip to fall. They want to win now...which is about time!

I like it because Joseph is younger with room still to grow. This move will allow Wade Phillps to be more creative, and aggressive, with his passrush.

Looks good for Danieal Manning: http://www.rotoworld.com/content/pla...=207545&spln=1

I'm good with it. Younger, cheaper. I think Aso was playing them for more $$ from the Jets or 49ers. Go get D. Manning and try to get whatever you can for Okoye and their not looking too bad.

Good signing. You can't let a guy hold you hostage so long that you end up left out. Should be interesting what the Jets finally pay Nambi. They already lost Brad Smith by telling him to wait until they figure out Nambi. That means they are reaching a point where they have to sign him or it is a huge failure. But he is running out of suitors. Should be interesting who blinks and for how much.

And Joseph is a great signing of a young, talented player at a position of need without hugely overpaying (we assume). That adds up to a giant win in FA.

Now for a Safety and Leach returning.

Saw this on Twitter:::

“@AdamSchefter: Interesting stats... RT @KCJoynerTFS: Joseph has a better 2-yr YPA than Asomugha on nearly 3 times as many targets.”

I like it. That frees to pursue other signings. Tomorrow ought to be fun.

per McClain:

*whistles*

Tweet from @McClain_on_NFL
------------------------
@McClain_on_NFL: Joseph gets 5 years, $48.75 million and $23.5 guaranteed, including $12.5 signing bonus.

If they end up getting Manning or re-signing Leach or both then I will tip my hat to Rick Smith.

Looks about right, 9.75 mil per year. I'm still surprised to not see much action from the way under the cap teams (ie. Bucs)

Everybody looks good in a highlight video.....

but, seeing this makes me smile :D

He was my first choice, so I'm real happy with this deal !

This is nice and I doubt that were done.
