[Speculation] Should the Texans Make a Trade for an Experienced (and Light) DE?

Kampman has been good but the Packers will want a first round draft choice for him IMO. Too much for a player 30 yrs old in his twilight years.

I wonder if the Packers would take a 7th round pick for Jeremy Thompson. He's definitely a 4-3 DE that they traded up for in the 4th round last year to get. Perhaps now, he's expendable.

Any interest in Antwan Peek for this role? The Browns just cut him. Assuming he's healthy (he missed the '08 season with a knee injury), I'd be okay with signing him on the cheap (maybe with some performance incentives) to compete for playing time as a nickel rusher. Maybe the new coaches (he's never played for Bush or Kollar) and the fear of his NFL career slipping away could overcome his knuckleheadedness.

I was thinking the same thing.

According to McClain we arent looking for a "light" DE.
