Default Texans waive safety Wilson, four others

Let the remake begin!

It's nearing Spring time, my Alzheimers is starting to kick in, and it is time for some "optimism" to start to grow. Hopefully, this coach can teach KJ how not to fall down/bite on fakes.

Part One of the remake - Safety upgrades - Love Pollard, but he can't cover for shit. Neither could Wilson.

Who, got the ax
From the Chronic:

Free safety Eugene Wilson, a starter on the worst secondary in the NFL this past season, was among five players placed on waivers by the Texans on Friday.

Wilson, receiver Andre Davis, linebacker Darnell Bing, linebacker Isiah Greenhouse and defensive tackle DeMario Pressley were released.

Wilson, 30. an eight-year veteran who played cornerback at New England before switching positions with the Texans, started on a defense that ranked 30th overall and 32nd against the pass. Like most of the other defensive backs, Wilson (5-10. 200) didn’t play well last season.

Wilson and his teammates in the secondary failed to make plays in road losses to Jacksonville and the New York Jets — both suffered in the final seconds.

Free safety will be a position the Texans could target in the draft and free agency. If they find another starting cornerback in the draft or free agency, they might move Glover Quin to free safety. They have veterans Troy Nolan and Dominique Barber on the roster.

Bernard Pollard, the starting strong safety, will be a free agent when a new collective bargaining agreement is reached. The Texans are hoping to re-sign Pollard, who led the team in tackles last season.

Among the other players waived, Davis, 31, was the biggest contributor. Before spending last season on injured reserve, Davis, a nine-year veteran, was the Texans’ kickoff returner who also made significant contributions as a receiver off the bench.
