Summary of player acquisitions/losses

I feel lost after being away from the internet for a week, so I was hoping there would be a stickied thread somewhere summarizing the Texans offseason moves, but I can't seem to find one, or even a website with the info. Is there a list of who all we've signed/picked up/lost to FA/released since the end of the season?

Barring someone providing a link that is kept up to date, I thought I would at least try to keep track of this. Here is what I have from glancing through a few pages of threads - can somone else help fill in more info?

New FAs Signed:
Ed Reed S
Shane Lechler P
Greg Jones FB

Previous FAs Signed:
Andrew Gardner - OT
Phillip Supernaw - TE
Brice McCain -S
Ryan Harris OT


Players Released/Traded:
Kevin Walter - WR

FAs Lost:
Glover Quin - S, Detriot Lions
Connor Barwin - OLB, Philadelphia Eagles
James Casey - TE/FB, Philadelphia Eaglies
Alan Ball - S, Jacksonville Jaguars
Justin Forsett - RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Donnie Jones. P Eagles

I'm still totally puzzled about why the Texans couldn't work out something with Barwin given the Eagles only had to invest in 8 M guaranteed money, the rest being funny-money ?

I get the feeling they valued him more like the fans here did than the Eagles did.
 
Hmmm... I'd like to be able to update this thread, but the ability to edit my own post seems to have disappeared... Anyone know how to edit a post when the "Edit" button has disappeared?

Anyway, we should add Brice McCain to the previous FAs signed list.

Yes, and now Ed Reed as a FA.

I will try to keep your 1st post up. if it takes me a day or so, PM.
 
I must know what the deal is with Bradie James, how come he is not ever listed as being one of our free agents!?

I mean he wasn't great last year but he played solid throughout the entire season and had 77 tackles.

He is a free agent correct? Why is he never listed as one?

Where are you looking? He is a free agent and he's listed as one. Walterfootball has him ranked as the 10th best ILB FA. He's on every list I've seen.

Whut??? Reserve/Injured. Again, already?? WTF?
 
Nah, just the last two years.
He had excellent production down the stretch in his rookie year and showed promises.

But he has been injured in every one of them ....:kitten:


Sharpton isnt the guy we want to plug in next to Cushing for the long term .... he might last a couple weeks , he might not. :headhurts:
 
Anyone know if Greg Jones can cover?

We know he can hit.

...just, you know, throwing that out there
:D
 
So can somebody update this so we can keep track of possible future comp picks.

Looks like Jones signed for more than the minimum(?) and therefore qualifies?

Both Ball and Forsett signed 2-yr deal for more than the minimum; they also qualify, don't they?
