From what I have been reading the Texans are going all out to get him.

As WMH pointed out that is per year, and I am thinking its going to be in the $100MM dollar range like Fat Alberts contract. Plus it most likely will be heavily front loaded.

Not only does this cost you multiple players on the team it cost you even more when the AJ's and Schaub's want more for their piece of the pie.

I don't see AJ being an issue, 30 yrs old and just re-upped for 7 yrs, but you might put Mario and Foster in that mix. If this "experiment" works with Mario @ OLB, then that dude is going to get PAID as well. With Foster....if he produces 80% of what he did last year.....cha ching.

Mario will get paid no matter how successful or unsuccessful his conversion to OLB is, because either way he's still got value, actually more value at DE in the 4-3 than he does at OLB.
So it's a Win-Win for him, and he gets paid when he's a FA either by the Texans or one of many other teams who'd want him.
