Ed Reed agrees to terms with Texans

[SmoochyTX]

Just read about the news. I guess I'm glad Ed Reed is here? I wonder what he's being paid and if it's worth it.

It sure seems like a whole lot of hullabaloo for him when he might not even be a true contributing member. I'm just unsure.

No....

and basically play the same position.

Why overpay for a better Brady James. Why not move Brooks Reed to the inside and buid the interior through the draft?



KEEP IT YOUNG... Well as young as the salary cap will allow you.

Yay your here!!

Ed Reed? Cool.

All this talk about really, really, really needing to draft a safety to learn under Reed, though? Sure, I'd pick one up somewhere in the later rounds, but y'all are forgetting about this cat we have named...

Eddie Pleasant.

A high IQ guy who finds himself around the ball a lot. Believe that.

No but you moan and groan about the production of the QB and #2 WR and what is your answer to solve em?

Draft? FA? Cause that's the only way to solve your conundrum.

The Texans just shured up the D and all you can do is pizz and moan and beat the he777 out o that dead horse and have no tangible solution.

Cooper Taylor in rd 3-4.

Now is the time to bring Casey Hampton home. Then draft a young LB like Brown in rd 2 and this defense would be a championship caliber defense.

Ed is a solid signing period. Now lets get the punter and lets get the special teams and lets get this football team where it belongs

[imatexan]

Finally a great addition for this years superbowl run and a big statement for the franchise for years.

Glad to have you in Houston Ed!

Question. Is there one more position we could upgrade to get this team where it belongs?

[BMann]

Ravens fan checking in. Congrats on signing the GOAT at the position. No, he's definitely not the Ed Reed of 2004, but he can still cover and freelance like no one else. He might have enough left in the tank to do for you guys what Rod Woodson did for us back in '00. I am sure going to miss screaming "REEEEEED!!!" at the top of my lungs on Sundays at M&T. You got a good one, folks!

[handswarmer]

Congratulations on getting Ed- I wished he would end his career in Purple but he saw something else on his visit or in the contract ($$$).

Hope it works out well for both parties.

[DX-TEX]

So.....when do they announce the Pollard and Winston signing?

[Uncle Rico]

Welcome to The U of Moo baby! If only we can convince Reggie Wayne to ask for a trade we are set!

Thanks a lot. It's nice to hear from a fan from an opposing team, especially the Super Bowl champs. I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot of youse guys for a little while to come.

Drop by anytime.

Shut yer pie-hole. go find a Ravens board ya frig'n troll.









Uh, I mean thank you.

[Texn4life]

As soon as 2 days ago I mentioned that I still thought he would sign here. Didn't think he would put AJ if he wasn't serious about coming. Glad he'll be sporting our uniform this upcoming season.

While Lechler is the arguably the second best punter in history, he would cost more than Donnie Jones (or whoever) who had a really good season. Think about the future. Think about the salary cap...

That said.... "Gig 'em"! Go Shane Lechler!!!


*****************

As an aside Joe, when are you going to hook-up another sprinkler system, identical to what you did at my old place?

[badboy]

Marc Berman : deal not done but national services saying Reed's financial adviser all done but minor things. Also Texans negotiating with punter Shane Lechler.

All I did was make an observation. I don't have a solution. But it's about time that the Texans hire someone in the front office who does.
