Let's hope that Slaton doesn't start lobbying for a new contract NOW ! I dunno, but that seems like it would be terrible timing for the Texans while being great for him in terms of the leverage he'd have.
Will Slaton ever be in a better position than he is right now given the kind of standout rookie season he had last year and how relatively little he makes as a result of not being taken until the third round of last years Draft ?
Slaton is a likeable young man who is by all accounts very high in the character department who stepped up and was clearly one of the MVPs on the Texans roster in the absense of the way over compensated Green who was out most of the year with injuries. Slaton could have a very mediorce year in 2009 or worse get seriously injured and miss a lot of time. And the Texans have been pumping a lot of PR his way and he's becoming a primary face of the offense along with AJ. I know the history of Denver-bred Kubiak with running backs, but maybe Slaton is just a little more valuable member of the Texans roster than most of the backs in Denver history when Kubiak was up there ?
BTW, what the hell is taking the Texans so long to get a long-term deal worked out with DeMeco ? And please don't say they've got rookies to sign
since no rookie and few vets if any are as important to the team as DeMeco.
