I think I would prefer a player with fewer years in the NFL than the Texans.

LOL. Not if it were Peyton Manning.

Most of the names on this thread don't move me. Jennings might be okay depending on the price tag.

I saw an article that had a very interesting observation. All of the teams spending big or able to spend big right now have cheap QBs on the new rookie salary scale of the last 2 years (seattle, SF, Indy, MIA, CLE). Smart picks (or stumbling into #1 overall), combined with a super friendly rookie scale allows these teams to spend between 5-25% of what most teams are paying for a QB and means they can spend all of that additional money elsewhere. In the Colts case that means overpaying career backups. I was pretty worried about the Colts until they did the opposite of the Polian era (when they never signed a FA and built through the draft) and handed out guaranteed money like crazy for mediocre players.

CB Nnamdi Asomugha's potential destinations include Texans, 49ers, Broncos, and Cardinals, per league source.

Phone call from Rick Smith prolly went something like this>
"Soooo.... Nnamdi... want to play safety for us? Call me maybe?"

I’m guessing that any numbers discussed on that call were just a bit smaller than the ones those guys kicked around a couple years ago.

Quin’s agent said that the Texans had some preliminary talks with him but never made an “official offer.” It sounds like a similar situation as with Mario last year, where the team quickly decided that the two sides were so far apart that they should move on.

Barwin is talking with the Eagles. The linked article doesn’t exactly make it sound like they’re willing to break the bank for him, though, since it basically describes the Eagles as bargain hunters looking for “value free agents.”

Jackson to FS in that scenario I guess.

Welker to the Broncos at $6 mil/per, Brady said to be disgusted.

Michael Huff was released by the Raiders if we are talking about safeties. He doesn't have the resume of Woodson and Reed but he's a Texan and he would likely still be an upgrade over Quin. I think he needs a change of scenery.
