Texans Bringing in Sims-Walker
Former Jaguars WR Mike Sims-Walker is scheduled to work out Wednesday for the receiver-needy Houston Texans. -- Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter)
Kids not look good in the OTA's or just want some additional vets in the mix? If he's cheap.....why not? |
Kubs said a few weeks ago that he still wanted to look at some more vets, so I expected them to bring in some guys. Due Diligence and all.
I also don't think Sims-Walkers has the health to make him worth signing. He has had left knee issues going back to college. I expect to see a few more vets coming through here. |
Sounds like Justin Forsett , RB coming in for tryout tomorrow as well. Could be a few vets signed after June 1 when don't impact compensatory picks.
|
I am all for bringing in any cheap wr vet. Then I'll hope that our young guys beat the vets out for roster spots.
|
Jacksonville had one of the worst if not the absolute worst WR corps in the NFL last year and they don't want this guy but we bring him in ? Yea, we may have some issues at WR this year.

I hope we sign this guy cheap, and then I hope he is then beat out by a rookie who is better than we could imagine, or I hope he is a perfect fit in our offense and for our franchise. But either way I won't fault anyone for not succeeding in Jacksonville. They could ruin anyone. |
Outside of AJ and Walter, the Texans' WRs have a collective zero career NFL receptions. That's pretty green. Some other vets who may be in the free agency version of the bargain bin: David Anderson, Jarrett Dillard, Anthony Gonzalez (if he's healthy -- the Pats cut him today after signing him earlier in the offseason).

I'm not ga-ga about either of the two guys we drafted so I'm fine with adding Sims-Walker or any other vet we think can help. We should get a few more to pick from after the June 1st cuts and it wouldn't shock me if a couple more become available just before the start of the season.
The Jags made a lot of WRs high draft choices (and still do) and I could never be sure how much of it was the WRs not being as great as advertised and how much was the QBs not being as good as advertised. A few (like Matt Jones) were clearly reaches but a few of them I thought would be good when they came out of college. I do think Blackmon will be a beast at the next level. He may not be quite in the league of AJ, Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald but I could easily see him at the next tier. |
If they're taking a look at Sims-Walker, who isn't the highest character guy and prone to injury, then they might as well take a look at Braylon Edwards too.

Did Sims-Walker work out today? Lance Zierlein said this morning that it might not happen, possibly due to questions about Sims-Walker's involvement in the incident in March in which his college teammate and good friend Brandon Marshall was accused of punching a woman in the face.
