I can NOT wait for real live football. Right now I channel hoping between Discovery HD Theater and and Panthers/Rams playoff repeat. Whenever a commercial comes up on one, I switch to the other. LOL

You're correct:

Dustin Keller 5 years/$12 million/$6 million guaranteed

Now there's a #18 signing:

Joe Flacco 5 years/$30 million/8.75 million guaranteed

This now creates a range within which Brown should fall.

Yes. The only pick left to sign is Brown.

Me too!!!! Thankfully, I've been getting my fix from the games I recorded last year.

**badboy** · 07-22-2008

This just in, rookie Duane Brown decides to not sign with Texans and will re-enter draft next year. Just messing with you. Hey quit throwing things!Something almost broke my monitor. Sheesh.

**SheTexan** · 07-22-2008

Yeah, We'll have 84 players when Brown signs. So 4 to go before Friday.

painekiller · 07-22-2008

Well we still have to cut some guys to get the roster back to 80. (after the league approves the signings).

The Pencil Neck · 07-22-2008

Spencer, Abbate, Powell and Stevenson were cut per the Chronicle.

Don't know Powell or Stevenson but it hurts to lose Spencer and Abbate.

Not bad at all for a guy that can come in and change the pace a little. A guy that might be able to line up in the slot at times. A guy that might not ever be an every down kind of guy. Much more cap friendly than paying him $26 million guaranteed and $51 million over 6 years.

dtran04 · 07-23-2008

Jeez. Perfect example of why picking 1st round RBs are a risky proposition. But then again, what pick isn't risky.

A just what guy that's not "an every down kind of guy" and making that kind of money are you referring to? Hmm...

Post 666! Yeah, the devil made me do it!
