Texans sign UDFA RB Arian Foster

[Warren]

Brush up on your dinosaur, John McClain:

Practice had just ended last week. [Foster], a senior on the verge of becoming UT's all-time leading rusher, was requested for media interviews.

He had a demand: whoever interviewed him had to speak Pterodactyl, some made-up dinosaur language. No interview was conducted.

Deadspin

The rumor was that the Saints were also after him and perhaps Rick Smith had to give him the 2-year deal as grease...

Is the second year guaranteed or something?

I suppose. Just guessing, if he can't go or gets injured or can't make the team, he gets another shot in 2010...

OK. Then, how would you answer Warren's question re: 2nd year guaranteed?

Wouldn't it be double parting money if he gets cut in the first year?
