Before he was cheap-shotted by the Jets, he was playing like a first-round LB. I don't think he was up there with Ray Lewis or Clay Matthews but he was a presence.
Once the knee was blown, he was done. Of course, now that Cushing and Duane Brown are gone, the only huge Texans contract one could dump for cap space is J.J. Watt and I'm guessing that won't happen for at least two years - regardless how healthy he is.
