Trade Dunta?

That is the conclusion I came to a couple of weeks ago. Even if he were to sign for the first game, he wouldn't really be available until week 3-4. Given that, we will in effect be paying 12 million for him. Ask yourself, is there anyway on Gods green earth Dunta is worth that? Also factor in the negatives of the hold out and a very likely negative person in the locker room. I could very easily see him doing his best to do everything he could to undermine what any of the coaches are trying to do. He is pissed (right or wrong about it) he didn't get to go to FA or get the mega contract and isn't to be trusted to be a team player at this point. IMO, if he hasn't signed by at least 2 weeks before the start of the season, pull the offer, put the money saved to use and get DeMeco signed and pick up a could of depth guys.

Just saw this on KFFL.com:

Jason La Canfora, of the NFL Network, reports Houston Texans CB Dunta Robinson is prepared to not report to training camp on time and hold out for perhaps longer, according to a source.



I just don't like this. Even if the Texans f-tag Dunta next year also, that's over 20 million for two years.

not reporting to training camp was pretty much a given at this point

He doesn't want to play or report for close to ten big ones then fine, let him sit out all TC and into the season as he threatens to do. Then freeze him, and let him see how he likes sitting and griping and not getting paid. I would send him a voided check for $625.000 each game to see what he is missing by holding out!
