Man....I hope your right, but unfortunately, I just don't see it. You can't disregard the dollars associated with Mario's contract. The Texans are/will be cap strapped for the next 2 years. By not signing Mario, it gives them the ability to extend several other key contributors that are expiring in '13 (Schaub, Barwin, Brown come to mind) + bring back Foster, Myers, and Briesel this year.
Don't see a trade being able to work out. We re-sign or he walks.
Not saying that is what I would do, or what I would like to see done, but it sure seems it makes too much sense NOT to re-sign him.
