I mean really, a 33 year old defensive end? That is right up Belicheats alley.....

I hope I am wrong, but this seems to nice and neat for it to happen.

2010 uncapped rules don't allow the Patriots to offer a contract of more than $4 million a season because they were among the final 8 teams in the 2009 playoffs. It's confusing, but we would be able to outbid them rather easily, if we chose to... Plus, the Texans are younger, better, and closer to home.
