Thanks for the update. Here is the link for those that want to know

Interesting that Casey, who has been called higher round talent is still not signed. Might he be a problem? Not likely.

I like Casey, think he might turn out to eventually be in the same caliber with Owen Daniels. Having said that though, why would he think he should be considered like a higher draft pick?A fifth is a fifth! I think he will eventually come to his senses and sign his contract. Just not quite sure why he hasn't already.

Great news hearing of the Glover Quin signing.

That can be answered in one word.....Agents.....

Do you remember that crap that Gaffney's agent pulled, since he was the first pick of the 2nd round? "He is the 33rd pick of the first round" or something like that. It was complete BS.

Hopefully, Casey is of higher character than that. He sure seems to be, and is excited to be here. With the exception of Cushing, I think the rest of the domino's will fall next week. IMO, Cushing/Cushing's agent will wait for the slots to start filling in. I can't imagine that anyone in that game wants to "blink first."

According to a league source, the former University of New Mexico defensive back signed a four-year deal worth $2.24 million. The deal also includes a signing bonus of roughly $490,000.

I wonder what Casey's agent is waiting for? I know from his diary on the main board that he is aware that Quin has signed his contract. The Texans seem to be going in reverse order from where the rookie was drafted so if I were Casey I would be asking my agent why I haven't had my contract signing.

And he said they where starting to work on it, he thought. Casey said also that he expected to sign any day now.

Two more in the fold. Now we need Cush, Barwin and deals for OD and Demeco.
