McNair on the Texans' plans in free agency: “I think we’re going to be very aggressive. We have to try to determine how we can get the most value for the money that we spend… It’s very fluid, (but) we’re going to get some quality players.”

Doesn't sound like spending all your cash on Aso to me...

LOL! Look at that ****!

I'm not going to put any words in McNair's mouth, so let's just analyze HIS words OK?

“I (1) think we’re going to be very aggressive. We have (2) to try to determine (3) how we can get the most value for the money that we spend… (4) It’s very fluid, (but) we’re going to get (5) some quality players.”

1.) He "thinks" they're going to be very aggressive. "Think" is awesome, eh?

2.) He says they have "to try." Kubiak would have said we're gonna' "battle," because battlin' sounds like a guy's word and "try" sounds like "trying out for the glee club," I suppose. Same damn thing.

3.) Ah, yes. How can we get the most value for the money we spend. Sorry, kids, I wanted to take you Disney Land buuutttttt your mom and I felt we could stay RIGHT HERE in Yazoo City and spend that money more wisely by using a patented long-term strategy of allocating that same money over a period of maybe 10 years...bowling alley, the movies, you name it!

4.) When he says "it's very fluid...," I wonder if he means there will be fluid poured onto our heads while we hear that it's "raining outside," or if by "it's very fluid...," he means that river is going to be so wild that the Texans choose to wait until other rafters go downstream and test the waters ahead of us??? Hmmm.....maybe a bit of both?

5.) "Some quality players." Sigh. The most troublesome aspect yet.

Watching those comments in slow-motion, it makes me feel less excited about free agency.

I think we have to take the castoffs from other teams (those who shed THEIR dead weight, so they can get the top-tier secondary players). What I think I hear McNair saying is that he's going to let Rick and Wade watch what players are releases and we're going to swoop in and grab them at clearance prices.

We've got lots of bowling and $1 movie shows in store for us. Because that free agency river is going to be the most "fluid" its ever been. Ever. Prepare your umbrellas. I warned you.

I've already received positive rep for my "analysis" skills.

And it wasn't from Second Honeymoon. Wasn't from Steel B Texan either.

Next up: I will have your winning lottery ticket numbers for you. LOL.

In all comedy, there is an element of truth that makes it funny to begin with.

So to all of you, I say: "You're welcome. This beer's on me." Literally.

A self-backpat? You can't be that excited over a measley Rep. Your happy the lockout is over aren't you?

[The1ApplePie]

OLB Manny Lawson will be a UFA

Hasn't been great in the Pros, but maybe he will come on strong next to old college buddy Mario.

Seems like a good depth signing to me.

I'm calling it right now: Texans trade their 6th round pick for next year's 5th and 6th round pick. This trade will save Bob McNair approximately (hold on I have to use my big graphing calculator to figure this out) $4.50. Woohoo!

Sweet! If Bob puts that in the bank by this time next year he will have...wait for it... $4.51!

And with the Texans luck, that 6th rounder they traded will turn out to be an All-Pro and a first ballot hall of famer.

I think the last 6th round pick was for center Chris Myers who has started every game for what three years?

Don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't mind seeing Kelly Gregg filling the NT spot for us, especially if Baltimore screws us out of the Aso sweepstakes.

[HoustonFrog]

Just read the Ravens cut McGahee, Heap, Mason and another player. Some speculating it is to open room for run at Aso.

Phillips has said he is pleased with the guys on roster for NT so why spend money on another?

If it's just money I'm not sure anybody can offer as much, as quickly as Tampa Bay.
