Saw this retweet in the ITB twitter feed and figured I'd post it here.

I'm not sure if that means he's here to talk, has signed, or just here visiting a strip club. It would be a good signing by the Texans, IMO, if that's what's happening. Good, tough runner and good ST player. If they do sign him, one has to wonder which RB is a goner. I'd still like for them to re-sign Grimes and Hunt. Don't really care if they keep Blue or Polk. Cunningham would be an upgrade to those two, IMO.

Heck of a tight end for the Steelers back in the day, too! I wondered what he'd been up to for the past 35 years.

I was thinking Blue had two near 100 yd games to end the 2015 season. So Blue might be the leading RB on the roster in the what have you done for me lately department. . Could be a function of who was healthy when.

For me TE , WR, even OL might be higher need than RB.

Maybe Safety, DE, and DT also still big need.

Of course could be young guys already on roster step up this year, we just don't know right now.

I love Blue as a non-starting RB. He is very multi talented (ST coverage, solid pass catcher, runner, I think he's the biggest of all the guys we're talking about).

In today's NFL, you need more than one good running back. I wouldn't get rid of Blue just because we got Miller. I wouldn't mind adding a back in the draft, though.

I think the Texans are still weak in the middle of our defense so I would be drafting for NT, ILB and S while adding depth at the DE, OLB and CB spots can also be justified. If we can't re-sign Crick, we have a hole to fill at DE.

While I'm not thrilled with our OL, I think we have commitments everywhere but OC that would make it tough for a draftee to stay on the roster. WR and TE need upgrades and we make look to draft a QB to develop after Osweiler.

Funny, for a 9-7 team, this club has very few satisfactory players. Tells you how weak their schedule was.

Looks like Texans signed a safety who was UFA and injured last year from Jets. S Antonio Allen (6-1, 210).
