Anytime a player hires a new agent, he usually wants a new deal. Texans WR Jacoby Jones hired Kennard McGuire, Andre Johnson's agent.

Jones is in the final year of his rookie contract. Recall that Kevin Walter just signed 5-yr, $21.5 million contract earlier this year.

Well he did have 6 TDs last year as opposed to Walter's 2 TDs. And he's a solid contributer in special teams as well... Im guessing he's gonna want #2 receiver type of money. Maybe even more than Walter's contract.

With more talent & versatility and 3 years younger than Walter, IMO it's a no-brainer to pay him a better deal than Walters.

Jacoby, IMO, has always had Randy Moss-like skills - see his TD catch in slo-mo against New England last year in the current Texans season tickets commercial. It's a thing of beauty. The problem has always been between the ears though he has been showing signs of maturing... He's one of the guys I hope doesn't make the "should've used him more" list...

I for one hope they keep this kid around if for the simple fact that his interviews absolutely crack me up.

He's got some skills too...

I suspect that they will try to keep him around. The question will be, does he show enough this year to be graded out as a 2nd or as a 3rd wide out. If he grades out as a 2nd he will probably accept that level of contract, but if the team grades him as a 3rd WR, he will likely not accept that level of contract and move on.
