Looking at Tight End Contracts

I agree it is a hard decision. At first I was on the train that thought that OD could be replaced; he was "merely a product of the system". But this guy is running some great pass pattern and making some spectacular catches; consistently. IMO he is a legitimate probowler. Not just because of today. He does all the time.

With that said, I feel a Phillip Rivers/Drew Brees situation arising. SD decided to go with their draft pick. Granted Rivers has been solid, but Brees has been elite since he's left. Did you see him torch NYG?

I guess if it were up to me I would demand top value for OD, especially if he makes the pro bowl. I'm talking first round. I know it seems pretty lofty, but Chicago just gave up a 2nd for "bust" Gaines Adams. I am sure we could find another sucker. No late round picks.

Maybe we move up to take Taylor Mays?

Well, the trading deadline is coming up this Tuesday I think. I think our coaches are in a need to win season, so I doubt OD or DR get traded, unless it is for a super difference maker DT and or OG or RB or FS , maybe. Maybe they acquire one of those, especially a dominant DT anyways if possible. I guess if OD and DR are good in the clubhouse, its uncapped year, if they sign for a fair amount because Texans are now a winner, keep em. If someone has lost it with the teammates or coaches then maybe gone.
