Duane Brown update

[bikerack]

The latest is that Brown's team is still trying to force a trade...but if that doesn't go through, it is expected he will report the Monday after the bye week. Texans are going to request the 3 week roster exemption for him if he returns.

Good info. I'm for the trade, let's get a draft pick. Don't want a player that might half-ass it....

I do hope this gets resolved during the bye week, one way or another.

I guess Texans could use a good LT and Duane has been one of our best LT ever, so why not bring him back.

We have the cap space already.

John McClain on 610 radio reporting this morning that DB is in the house @ NRG.

So glad Brown is back.

I hope Texans treat him well and Duane helps the Texans offense.

Just like I said, holdouts that stretch into the season never help the player. He misses 6 game checks for almost $3 million, but in the end he has to come back for at least 6 games, or he doesn't get credit for the season.

I am all for players using leverage to get paid, but the way the system is setup, as soon as you reach regular season time you lose all leverage.

Congrats to Duane Brown's agent who cost him over $3 million and accomplished nothing.

Not only that, how often have we seen a player end a prolonged holdout, play like crap a couple of weeks and then miss the rest of the season due to injury because their body wasn't in "football shape"?
