Default Arian Foster signs with Miami

Reports are Arian signed with Miami.

If healthy and avoids serious injury this a good deal for Miami.

I always really liked Arian, so good luck to him in future.

Come on Bob. He needs to go down in infamy with Andre "Benedict Arnold" Johnson. We should root for him to be winless, jobless, homeless, and joyless after this betrayal.

Andre and Arian I suppose have been our two best players so far. Both had some great moments here.

To bad they couldn't somehow finish their careers here.

I recall Andre asked to be released, he was hoping for the elusive SB

I guess Andre departure left a few rough feelings while Arian was completely gracious .

Anyhow, good luck to both. And more luck to Arian.

I don't think Houston has ever had a more gracious or classy athlete than AJ (some just as much, none more so). The guy is still running charity events in Houston even after leaving.

The team told him he would have a role as a 40 catch guy in an effort to make him want to leave, so they could win the PR battle they knew his exit would be. I don't blame the team for moving on. That's their job. But I certainly didn't blame AJ for continuing to get paid in the small football window players have.

Bob feels AJ should die a slow death for playing with the Colts after we cut him. I feel he was the best Texan ever and an extremely loyal guy who never publicly questioned the mismanagement that wasted his greatness, and I feel like he should be celebrated.

Ya know, I would almost never presume to know what someone else is thinking on any topic on any day, anywhere.

So, Arian was a lot more entertaining with the media than Andre., at least I thought so.

Arian also has a foundation and fund raiser to help families in need. Can find it on facebook. I like that.

And a writeup on that http://blog.chron.com/ultimatetexans...-philanthropy/

Like five more days till rookies report to training camp.

This is a great post.

AJ and Arian were two superior players for the team most of us root for. It's clear that most of us with them every success going forward.

Bob of course worries about how these players and their new teams might affect his Broncos. As his is right, but he really should relocate his clown show to a Broncos site. Plus, they're uppity.
