Texans FA's

[Keith]

My glass sits half full at the moment too. My only question is if the Texans know that the Bills want to fork over a $100M deal to Mario, I just am not sure if I'd be as willing to pay for it.

That they prioritize pass rush over all else, great.
That they prioritize Myers over Winston, great.
That they haven't made a "splash" yet in UFA, great.

Mostly my other question is just why both Jacoby and Walter are both still on the roster at their current cap figures. Neither is a #2 WR, yet both are paid at or near that amount.

I'd also try to get DeMeco to renegotiate/restructure. His replacements, be they Dobbins or Sharpton, seem capable, though I do admit they probably lack the leadership that DeMeco provides. Just wonder how important his leadership still is given what the unit achieved last season.

Those would be my 2 questions too. I cannot imagine JJ surviving and certainly cannot understand dumping a very reliable Winston instead of the flaky JJ.

It could be that is all part of thier "plan" for if/when they need the space. Why push funds around unless you need to?

Maybe...I dunno. Just thinking outloud in a somewhat positive manner.

Not sure how accurate the info is, but LZ reported yesterday that Demeco's actual 2012 cap savings if he were to be cut would only be ~$1MM. If that's the case, why cut him? Seems there would be better places to save.

JJ and Walter on the other hand... I think both of those guys combined would be ~$7MM. I'd cut both and hope you can find a rookie or cheap vet FA late in camp (maybe Santana Moss?) for the vet minimum.

BTW, if you heard McNair on the 610 yesterday, he made a comment to the effect of "we'd love to re-sign our players, but we're going to let them test the waters and let the market determine their value".
