AJ was our top star for many years, more soft spoken than most stars.

I'm sure media had a few quotes or interpretation of quotes when AJ asked for trades two years in a row.

I always thought his uncle or AJ did poorly or let Texans get a home town discount. But he did make quite a bit anyways.

I thought after the home town discounts it was unfair for Texans to ask AJ to take a pay cut.

And Texans were initiator of the discussions, not AJ.

Arian I guess just realized that is way contracts work these days. Just big business and almost no one gets last couple years of what sounds like a big contract.

I always like to hear different views on a topic.

Rookies report Monday. Maybe then we will get something worth discussing.

I don't think AJ gave a hometown discount, I just think he had a bad agent. I don't think the Texans should have given him more or kept him longer.

The rules of the modern NFL demand that players get what they can while they can, and the teams give as little as possible and never pay for past production.

I'm not sure if a restructure to save team cap space , is a home town discount, but pretty sure AJ agreed to that seems like 3 times.

Agree his Uncle Agent didn't help the situation, and agree he didn't do too poorly in any case.

Arian did OK for 7 years vs 13 for Andre.

Looks like salary cap going up, and Texans need to start talking with Hopkins and his future.

Nice to see Fitz and his beard got a contract with Jets for 2016.
