Looking at Tight End Contracts

Fonz the Boss · #1 10-17-2009, 02:30 AM

Owen Daniels is a made product of the system. Any of the tight ends on the roster can rack up similar numbers if they were to take OD's spot. Thats why I was hoping we could trade him to improve our secondary.

I am not sure the above statement is true or not but I think we ought to trade him now for the betterment of the team. We could give the team a lot more help for that money IMO.
Or maybe he is just gone at the end-of-the-year for nothing.

Owen Daniels is CRUCIAL to our offense. I've counted WAY too many times where the guy's just come up absolutely huge. Once you have a guy like him that Schaub has developed a connection with, you just don't get rid of him. Third and three? Daniels will get it. Second and 12 with everyone covered? Daniels will get it.

Let's just hope his fumbleitis from a couple years ago doesn't prop up and cost us a game now.

No one is irreplaceable (at least not on the Texans). And I'm not at all sure O.D. is worth $5M big ones a year. Dreeson is starting to come in to his own, and the two rookies Casey and Hill will only get better. I think O.D. is gone after this year unless he just wants to play here and will settle for less.

His value to a contender might be at an all-time high right now. Maybe a DT or CB or S or all of the above would be available now or we get nothing at all. I don't this team with Schaub at the helm is ever going to cross the line. Matt is a good guy, and a good quarterback. But, in my opinion he is never going to get us to the promise land. Oh well, that is another story.

WOW!!! After today...

Yeah Big T, but the writing is on the wall. They can only keep one of the two, either O.D., or Mr. Robinson. With 3 other TE's ( Casey, Dreeson, and Hill), which of the two do you think they will keep, and who do you think they will try and trade? My guess is it has to be O.D.

Well, actually I wrote that before he played today. However, my feelings haven't really changed. He is a good quarterback and if things go his way he has a game like today, but if the team goes the other way like last week he is incapable of making a difference, it appears. That is why he has incredible stats until he hits the red zone but after that not so good.

I don't think he can take the Texans to the SB or deep into the Playoffs. Just my two cents.
