No doubt this trade was for 2013 cap relief. They were wise to do it now and get SOMETHING for DeMeco. I'm really curious if they tried to shop Winston around as it would seem he'd at least have mid-round trade value.

I agree they need to get Barwin and/or Schaub signed before next season. Brown will probably be difficult to sign early. Actually, I'm shocked they haven't renegotiated Schaub's deal yet. IMO, both the Texans and Schaub should have motivation to get a deal done now. The Texans because of the obvious cap issues, and Schaub because he's coming off an injury and a bad season would kill his FA value. As for Brown, I'm not too concerned about him because worse case he gets the F-Tag.

Isn't that what we were saying about Mario?

Only way Brown walks is if the Big Guy above drops an All-Pro LT at the doorstep of Reliant Stadium. They have what appears to be a capable replacement for Mario. Brown, not so much...

The difference is Mario was already over the tag and required the %25 bump to $22 million.

There was talk about this move during the season coming out of Philly, so I am not surprised.

This is a good move for all involved.

Good Luck to Demeco and thank you for the class you brought to this organization, you will be missed.

For this to be a good move for all involved, Sharpton will have to prove he can be an every down, all game player. OR we draft a phenom like Perry in the Draft, which may or may not be likely.
