Eric Winston released????? - Page 2 - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

Naiirb · 03-12-2012

If the Texans don't resign Myers and Brisiel before tommorows start of free agency we will only have 2/5 offensive line under contract. This had to be a move to resign at least Myers. With the way our run game has been the last 2 seasons this is just shocking move to break up the offensive line unit

Heath Shuler · 03-12-2012

Wow. Just wow

DonnyMost · 03-12-2012

Who steps in?

Derek Newton?

**False Start** · 03-12-2012

Wow! Very unexpected news.

I wonder if this means something may be brewin over at Reliant, besides resigning our own FA?

Thanks for the memories caveman:

Wow... color me confused. Why did our FO not even make an attempt to ask Winston to take a pay cut or restructure his contract? He is a top RT in this league and integral towards our O-line. This better mean we re-sign Myers and Breisel. The only part of this move that makes sense to me is that they are trying to make space for Mario this year or more people next year.

They must have an upgrade in the works. At least I won't have to hear him say he Looooves Wing Stop anymore.

Agreed, the strenght of our OLine was its chemisty between our starting players, not really their individual talent. Not a good time to shake things up when they were performing so well

Does he have to clear waivers before they can offer him a new contract?? CAN they offer him a new contract?

GP · 03-12-2012

What. The. ? ? ?

Wow. Out of nowhere. Hell, forget the Manning Derby...how are we going to keep everything running efficiently on that o-line???

Hubba hubba.

What's more frustrating is that they didn't cut JaGoofy or Captain Hottub first.

How do you know they didn't?

The Cush · 03-12-2012

Rashad Butler has proven he can step in and be a starter at LEFT tackle, at least he's still on the roster and an option to fill the void before we have to rely on someone like Derek Newton

RTP2110 · 03-12-2012

Man if they cut Winston, but keep Jacoby, I will be upset!

cbs1507 · 03-12-2012

He will be making $5.5m each of the next 2 years. In other words overpaid. We would rather sign Myers over Winston. Plus Brown is a FA next year and we're cap strapped. It's a business.

JCTexan · 03-12-2012

This is a bit shocking. The only way it makes sense is if they needed to free up cash to sign Myers and Brisiel. Otherwise you're losing three members of your starting O-Line from last year.
