Owen Daniels Contract Negotiations

[Nconroe]

1560 radio had a nice interview with OD while ago. This is what I think he said. He said he had a nice talk with Kubiak and Smith yesterday. He said he liked Houston, Texans and wanted to be here his whole career. He said when he's at practice he only thinks of being a good player and the team winning, or something like that. Then he said he was scared his plans for a long career here might not happen.

My thought is for OD to stop negotiating in public, don't critique your bosses in public unless all positive, and then good things will come in due time, like pretty soon. Spouting off in public probably makes things more difficult for your bosses. And be reasonable- big, big pay days take more than one good year, you're still a young man. if not right away, always play your hardest, be very positive, your payday will come. and btw, your current contract ain't that bad, almost 3 mil a year. I guess Smith will get to this after Cushing is done.

From first day of camp quotes, looks like Demeco and Owen both ready to play and leave new contracts as a separate business issue, more positive than I thought perhaps.
