ROI:

• 2017 4th round pick
• 8-6 record as a starter (1-1 in the playoffs), 15/16 (2/3) TD/Int, 55.3 (63.9) QBR, 5.12 (5.62) Yds/Att

I remember the argument for him last summer being he didn't cost us a draft pick.

McNeck's eating shit in public is about the best thing that can happen in the offseason.

They usually discount future picks a year out by a round so we are spending a 3rd round pick (second rounder discounted to present value), to get Clevland to assume BOs contract.
BTW I'm still puzzled why some think McNair would dish out the coin he did for alleged QB specialist O"Brien to be his HC without granting him the authority and expecting him to decide about the teams starting QB ?

I guess it's official. The Texans traded Brock Osweiler, the horse he road in on, two future horses just in case the first one breaks down from the weight of Osweiler's contract and, in return, the Texans receive a fig leaf of a third-day draft pick since it's against NFL rules to outright sell a player.

Hell of a deal, Rick. Come to think of it, wasn't this the same sort of deal that sent Matt Schaub out of town to Oakland? Just wasn't as lopsided. Maybe Rick has found his niche in this league. Now watch us overpay for Romo because, if we don't get him, who's next? Kaepernick? Cutler?

Rumor has it, the Browns think Ozzie can be flipped for another draft pick, shaving another $6 million or so off the amount write-off and add another warm body for the rebuild.

Some argued a second-rounder was too big a sacrifice for Houston but a) it's not until 2018 so the value is less than obvious and b) anyone who has tracked the Texans' record of second round picks knows Rick would have only screwed it up anyway. Assuming the Texans will be a better than .500 team this coming year, that pick is likely to be somewhere around #50 or lower.
