The Shaun Cody signing is looking better and better.

I'm not particularly concerned about whether TJ stays or he goes. I know a lot of fans are mad at him and want him gone because we essentially wasted a first round pick on him. But that was then and this is now, as the saying goes.

To me, the players who really hurt a franchise are those who get seriously overpaid. Like Carr, Green, Weaver, Greenwood, etc. Those guys eat up a lot of cap and make it hard to bring in free agents. Guys like TJ are not putting us in that situation.

The player who by far concerns me the most right now is Dunta. He hasn't shown yet that he can come back to his earlier form. If we gamble that he can, we may end up overpaying him by millions and millions. That's why I can't understand why there's a single Texans fan who believes we ought to sign him right now. Even if he gets back to his former level he won't exactly be a bargain. The kind of money he's reportedly asking for should buy pro bowl type talent.

IIRC we traded down with NOLA and got an extra 3rd the year we took TJ. He has never been on my favorites list, that's for sure. Unles Kolar can do something with him it wouldn't bother me any if we put TJ in our rear view mirror.

With which we used to draft Eric Winston in 2006, who some might argue would by himself become a first round or near first round value in his own right ?

The long awaited update to the cap page is complete. I've temporarily resolved a hardware issue I was having and have resumed my reluctance to acquire new software on my laptop to make my life easier. Who knows, maybe at some point I might actually write something new for the front page of the site.

NFLPA still shows the last two years of TJ's contract (i.e. not voided), so I haven't changed his cap figure yet. Even if I did and my estimate there was close, I think I'm still missing a million or two cap dollars for someone else.

On HOustontexans.com TV, Kubiak made mention that this is a contract year for TJ... So, one way or another, I think it's clear that the team has an ability to easily get out of his contract after this season.

TJ himself said it was a contract year, so something has been done to last 2 years already.
