Duane Brown update

John McClain on 610 radio reporting this morning that DB is in the house @ NRG.

So glad Brown is back.

I hope Texans treat him well and Duane helps the Texans offense.

Just like I said, holdouts that stretch into the season never help the player. He misses 6 game checks for almost $3 million, but in the end he has to come back for at least 6 games, or he doesn't get credit for the season.

I am all for players using leverage to get paid, but the way the system is setup, as soon as you reach regular season time you lose all leverage.

Congrats to Duane Brown's agent who cost him over $3 million and accomplished nothing.

Not only that, how often have we seen a player end a prolonged holdout, play like crap a couple of weeks and then miss the rest of the season due to injury because their body wasn't in "football shape"?

[Nconroe]

Duane is gone to Seattle.

The Texans landed cornerback Jeremy Lane, a 2018 fifth-round pick and a 2019 second-round selection, per the report.

For me it's disappointing but somewhat expected after Duane commented on McNair s comment.

I wish Duane well with his new team. Apparently some new deal agreed in principle to fit in Seattle's salary cap space.

Great trade for Houston. A warm body CB who can't be worse than what we have. And a 5th and a 2nd. All for a guy who was going to do nothing but cause trouble and probably hold out again next year.

And I'm happy for Brown. He was very good for a long time and I'm glad I can remember that instead of the next 15 months of whining he would have done.

A bad corner for an All Pro LT. When I say that McNair isn't interested in winning, this is what I'm talking about.

Good for Duane, though, Paul Allen is twenty times the man McNeck is. And as a city Seattle smokes Necktown in every conceivable way.
