I think Smith will have something to say about that unless the price goes through the roof

I hope we don't overpay for this guy when we probably can draft a guy in 4th or 5th round to fill his role.

With all this talk about great KR and questionable WR skills I think we're talking about J.Mathis. You remember - Our often injured ProBowl KR.

I think AD is a little more than a little better WR than JM...

Says who? Jacoby was a 3rd rounder and he obviously couldn't fill that role.

Actually, Jones had won the #3 WR role over Davis in training camp and preseason. Davis was a pleasant surprise, but the plan all along was for Jones to be the #3 WR, and eventually the #2 WR. The injury in Week 3 vs. the Colts was a real setback for Jacoby.

Jacoby seperated his shoulder this year as well and seemed to do better in the second half of the season. Jones has all the tools just will take some time to develop.

I don't mind AD at a decent price and I saw on Football futures a rumor that he's close to re-signing for what that's worth.

Yeah, I saw that too. Rick Smith said that they were really close to getting a deal done with AD and his agent.

Personally i like AD more than JM.

obviously because he's less injury prone but also because he did exceed my expectations and did haul some in during JJ and AJ's absence. One of those pleasant suprises that seem few and far between when talking about Texans FA aquisitions.
