man, this really makes no sense unless you are going back to the nfl before free agency. Joe Thomas got 44 million guaranteed last year. If brown were to play throught the season and become a free agent the texans would most certainly have to offer pretty close to that number to keep him. Which would absolutely cause them to either not re-sign brown, or not re-sign other player (barwin, schaub)or free agents. For a player like brown it would be reckless to let the market dictate his price if you can get him nailed down early, especially with this kind of deal.
