That is what I have been hearing and reading all day, that it was a 2 year deal worth roughly 7-7.5 mil with a 3rd year option....

That was why I asked where the 16 mil for 3 years was coming from...

Because the they "agreed to terms" and didn't sign a contract yet. Once they get a deal signed and sent to the NFL office, someone will leak a copy and we'll find out how much it is and how much is guaranteed.

I'm crossing my fingers that it's a 3 year deal worth 3m, 3m, 10m...

Jason LaCanfora reported the 3 year 16m numbers. He's usually pretty good about getting that stuff right, but not perfect. I'm hoping the 2 year 7.5m report is correct, because that would be a great deal for us.

Hell now I am reading 2yrs $12 mil ...if this is true, ouch...

$6M per is what I thought it would come down, too.
I would hate for it have a higher price tag, but I'm willing to go with 6.

If he signs for cheaper; great.
if he signs for 6, I don't mind.
Sometimes, you've got to pay to play.

Hopefully, there's an incentive bonus in there.

I was expecting 2 years in the 10-12 million range. So if this is true, I've got no problem with it.

Someone said 2 years 7 mill total... if that's true then ... Rick Smith deserves an award of some sort.

I think the 7 million number is what might be guaranteed. At least that's what I gathered from yesterday.

I don't think the 3 year 16 mill deal that's being thrown around is that bad either. The odds of him seeing that 3rd year is prob slim to none. The only numbers that really matter to me are the cap numbers anyway.

El Tejano · 03-21-2013

Can you imagine what this is going to do for players like JJo, and Manning. Now they get to just play. For players like KJax, and Demps and Harris, and not to mention any safety we draft, this is going to be a chance for them to see a real All Pro go to work.

Crap. Sounds like nobody knows for sure and we ain't heard a peep out of the Texans or chirp (a "twit"?) out of Reed.

Craig Roberts (92.1 FM) just said (as of 1:15 pm, 3/21/13) that Reed has not actually signed anything yet.

Bob's jet broke down ?

**kiwitexansfan** · 03-21-2013

I'm guessing the full value if the deal is laden with incentives.

Play > 12 games = $$$$
Win the superbowl = $$$$
Make the probowl = $$$$$
Lead the league in INTS = $$$$

The Texans don't say anything until the ink hits the paper.

I think everyone knows he hasn't signed anything. They've only "agreed with the terms" of a deal. Working on the verbiage of the deal

There's also a chance that he backs out and signs somewhere else, like Baltimore...

It's rare that a player would do that, but it has happened before.

Really? Wow. Can you provide an example? I would love to hear who has made an agreement and then backed out?

Arian Foster!
agreed with Chicago on one year deal but the Texans lured him away with a 2 year deal.

The 1st that comes to my mind

Quote:

free-agent wide receiver Az-Zahir Hakim on Friday afternoon backed out of a contract agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs, a deal that would have reunited him with head coach Dick Vermeil.

**badboy** · 03-21-2013

At his age the third year could be a team option with heavy money in first two + bonus to get him to sign. Either way this coud be a hit to cap.

Got a link for that. I don't remember there ever being an agreement in place with the Bears. They offered their deal, we offered ours and he chose us

That was my thought as well. I was under the impression that Chicago offered a 1 yr deal whereas Htown offered him a 2 year deal because they really wanted him. If memory serves, didn't the team also sign Jeremiah Johnson that year as an UDFA as well?

Dread-Head · 03-21-2013

Don't like the guy...but DO respect him as an athlete. Welcome aboard "Broke jaw". Looks like Flacco's over rated (and now over paid) ass getting that disproportionate contract will be to our advantage. I hope the referees don't start treating him differently because he's a Texan now.

Yes. I really thought Jeremiah was going to be a good player for us, too.
