New Texans (FA/Trade)

[Keith]

From Jay Glazer:
The Saints and Seahawks are trying to finalize trade Jimmy Graham and a 4th rounder for Max Unger and Seattle first rounder


Graham is signed thru 2017, and he has a $5m roster bonus due this week and some hefty base salaries coming in 2016/17 ($8.9M & $7.9M) plus workout bonuses.

Dammit #2.....

@RavensInsider: Haloti Ngata traded to Detroit Lions, according to a source

@taniaganguli The #Texans are making an effort to sign Vince Wilfork. Need a nose tackle, and he's very familiar with Romeo Crennel.

This pursuit of Vince Wilfork is why I am not sweating out Ryan Pickett's whereabouts at the bingo halls (yes, another old person joke!).

I'd also like to see the team make a push for Cecil Shorts... seeing as how this offseason is going so well, I'm sure this will happen.

Also, not mentioned yet is that JJo apparently hasn't been asked to restructure or extend, at least not yet. Fine by me, but if the team wants him beyond 2015, they'll do it at some point. If they don't, then 2015 is probably the Texans farewell tour for Joseph. From a cap perspective, probably so since Kareem is getting paid.

Definitely means CB is still in play for an early pick in the draft. Been saying this on Twitter lately... LB is clearly the biggest most immediate need for this team, especially with Reed leaving for the Falcons and Clowney's health in question. Mercilus nearing end of his rookie contract too. And it's not like ILB is really set either. I'd love to see some LB picks.

WR, if Shorts is signed, we can't forget about Posey, Labhart, and Uzoma Nwachukwu. I think there's something to work with there already.

For some reason, we've tendered Case Keenum.

How many QB's are we bringing to camp?.......

For some reason, the Rams just traded for Keenum, giving the Texans a 7th rounder next year.

Sneaky.....

Pretty much negates the Mallett trade comp.
