58 minutes til free agency...do they? - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

texansfan88 · 03-01-2005

Do the Texans make any moves in the last 58 minutes here or do you think they let Banks, Payne, Simmons, Bell, Deloach, Sears, Spears, McCree and others test the market?

**TEXANS84** · 03-01-2005

I don't want to see Payne gone, or Simmons and Bell.

Banks is a solid backup...but he wants to test the market.

I don't know...Im very confused about a good amount of the players not being tendered yet.

**TEXANS84** · 03-01-2005

BTW, Corey Sears reached a deal this evening.

Banks wont find a starting job out there this year. Too many qbs out there that are better than him

do you have a link to sears?

Ranger · 03-01-2005

You really think Banks could find a starting job somewhere? Out of the whole bunch the only one I want to see back is McCree. All the rest of them could walk. The Texans will sit around and sign some low key FA's while the rest of the 31 NFL teams go player crazy.

The O-line has been a problem since the Texans existance. Mostly because of the Boselli disaster IMO. It is taking this organization longer to recover from that mistake than they are willing to admit. Smart money says they won't do ANYTHING with the O-Line this year either. The Texans #1 pick will be going into his 4th season already and the O-Line is STILL a big ?

We didn't lose a pick or a player by taking a chance on Boselli. We were the only team in the expansion draft so it was just like signing a street FA who never played. If we gave up a pick or traded a player I'd agree.

Its FA time Vinny. Im only thinking about the money.

We aren't hampered by the money Bob McNair spent taking a shot at TB.

From the chronicle:

Quote:

"After the season, they told me that if I came back I would get more opportunities," Bradford said. "But I'm more of an action guy. You have to show me."

Although Bradford is likely to visit other teams, his dream scenario is helping to finish what he helped start as an original member of the Texans.

"I told my agent that I want the Texans to be our first option," he said. "I think I'll have a lot of options out there, but we have something good going on here, and I'd like to be a part of that. But I'm not nervous about going into free agency. I was the first time (in 2002), but I'm not nervous now."

Dolphins coach Nick Saban plans to add one offensive lineman, and guard Mike Wahle, released by the Packers, would fit the bill nicely. Tackle Victor Riley of the Saints also is possible. Linebackers Sedrick Hodge of New Orleans or Donnie Spragan of Denver and safety Marlon McCree of Houston have upside and shouldn't cost much.
-- Palm Beach Post

From cnnsi.com. Looks like McCree may go to the Dolphins.

By not signing so many of our Free Agent players, the bluff is out, we are going to be VERY active in free agency.

I actually think you are right. This should put us around 15 million under the cap.

If we are, we had better get busy. Seem to be moving kind of slow, just like other years.
