Ty Warren
 

Reports are that Ty Warren is impressed with the Texans this offseason and is willing to take the veterans minimum to come here. Sorry I can't provide the link...I am on my phone... What do you think? That would solidify one of the strongest offseasons we have had in our relatively short existence.

I believe this is the link...if it doesn't work i apologize in advance...

So long as he can pass a physical (and eventually the conditioning test) he would be a very nice, cheap addition. Great chance to avoid putting JJ Watt into a Kareem Jackson role (starts without competition and no relief.) Adding him to a DL rotation could be excellent for the team and JJ Watts progress.

At the vet minimum he's basically a free player, let's go Rick Smith!

To me this is a no brainer, sign the man now.

Seems like a guy we ought to sign, experience, good player, leader type, wants to be here.

he was out last year with a hip injury

@AdamSchefter: Broncos land former Patriots DE Ty Warren with a 2-year, $10 mil deal that includes $2.5 mil guaranteed.

He is 30, had hip surgery and came in out of shape. I think we need DE depth, but he may not have been the right guy and THAT is not the right price. Denver way over paid.

Would have been a nice signing at vet minimum, but not at 5 mil per. Oh well, that's how FA goes.

I'm still trying to figure Denver out, they claim they are going to run a 4-3 yet all of their big moves this offseason have been guys that fit a 3-4 better.

And most prominently LB Van Miller who was taken very high in the draft (2nd or third overall) ? New HC Fox definitely ran his D out of a 4-3 all the years he was at Carolina, so yea their player acquisitions are puzzling ?

Agree on passing on Ty for that level of cash and on the curious front 4 Denver is building. Let's also not forget that their best bincumbent pass rusher is Dumervil, who also appears better suited for a 3-4. In fact, it seems they have the makings of a really good 3-4, only they don't run one. Very odd.

While I'm not upset they passed on Ty for that much, I saw where the Saints signed Aubrayo Franklin to a 1 year deal. Don't know what the money was, but that is someone I had hoped the Texans would show some interest in.
