The Texans decided it was vitally important to keep one of the Johnsons.

Again, I ask, "Where's Ryan Pickett"?

If we signed my "cousin" again, I might be inclined to buy a R. Pickett jersey.

Seriously, without knowing about Louis Nix's situation, getting Ryan to stuff the run at the NT makes perfect sense. Otherwise, drafting Goldman or my sleeper, Derrick Lott could be an interesting option.

Does anyone believe that Anthony Fasano might be a "cheap" upgrade at the TE position? Seems like we could use a guy with the ability to catch.

Pickett will be 36 this year and we signed him out of retirment last year.

Perhaps we would be better in a retool situation to go with a younger NT.

Agree with why did we keep Darius Johnson? fast, but didn't seem to catch or run a route. need fast for training camp. still young.

Yes, we signed him out of retirement and he was the stud in the middle we needed. Get him for the full season even if Nix looks good. Nix has a knee history.

I don't think Pickett is going to field offers. He had decided to retire and must have come back because Romeo talked him into it. No reason that can't happen again.

Now, if we happen to sign a stud NT from another 3-4 team, okay. But where would we find the cap room for that?

Don't make fun of him. He's got to get home in time for Wheel of Fortune.
