Please disregard this thread, got some bad info from Solomon. You can all form a line to kick me in the nalgas if you like.

As per Jerome Solomon, he's supposedly been texting several Texans players who are "pissed". The Texans will reportedly cut DeMeco Ryans and Jacoby Jones tomorrow.

The players need to get over it. As a team you have to make tough decisions and I'm glad the Texans are doing that. Tom Brady was upset when the Patriots let go of Lawyer Malloy and Richard Seymour. He got over it..... The players that are upset now will too. Its a business and the Texans made these guys millionaires.
 
Yay for JJ
Boo for Ryans. Dude's a true leader of this team. Polar opposite of "Pay me Rick"
 
I do not want to see Meco go, but maybe cutting him also is what gets Mario and Manning signed here. Jacoby should have been cut a long time ago.
 
If the players are pissed, they have no one to blame but themselves. It's a salary cap league. If you want your buddies to stay, take a pay cut. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Demeco simply had to go, it was terrible timing to sign his new deal... virtually set him up to be cut no matter what after that injury.

And Jacoby, well, let's just say I have a bottle of Divine Reserve 9 ready to go.
 
Hate to see Demeco go. Dude has so much heart, and looked like he was just getting back up to speed. I wonder if there's some injury concern on the team's behalf.
 
I hope it isn't true a Demeco. The guy is the heart of this defense. What also sucks is getting all the way to the point of the playoffs and then getting cut. Thank you for your services but no thanks. I don't like it. He is one of the reasons the Texans even got to the playoffs. The Texans could be cutting their own throat if they start cutting out the "vital organs" on this team. I'm gonna wait and see on all this and hope for the best.

Me too. Mario and his injuries are a relationship I want to move on from. We need to resign Myers and prepare for the impending deals with Duane brown among others.
 
Why would team management tell players about the supposed cuts tonight, but not make the moves until tomorrow?

FWIW, there's no mention on Solomon's twitter feed.
 
The thing is that these guys surely understand that when they re-sign for the multi-million dollar deals it sets a whole new level of expectations. With Demeco being hurt last year and knicked up for most of the year this past year it just made him expendable for the amount he was being paid. I certainly hope there's a way where he can test the market and then re-sign with us, but if he leaves then I certainly wish him the best as well.

Jacoby on the other hand....... Ummmmmm Let's just say I'll always remember his punt return TD's.

The NFL office is only open during business hours. I believe it's 8-5 EST. You can't submit transactions in the middle of the night.
 
Oh snap, if this goes down Smith all bets are off... To tell you the truth I have thought that it would not be hard to find a 2 down thumper to play next to Cush. However, I never thought that Rick would get so damn Gangsta and cut Ryans because of his intangibles. Let's see what happens, link please?
 
I heard Lance Zierlein say on 790 the Texans would only save around 900k if they cut DeMeco because of his guaranteed amount and it's still early on his deal. Maybe they ask him to take a pay cut but hard to believe they would cut him to save less than a million. =/
 
This rumor may or may not be true, but the thread title is misleading. It should read something to the effect that the OP heard a rumor from a friend.
Solomon isn't reporting anything about this story as far as i can find.

I'm still finding a tangible source in print. You can discredit my name if this comes back to blowup in my face. I believe it to be true based on the affiliation with certain entities.

Still does't answer why they would tell the players tonight, and wait until tomorrow to make the cuts.
They already announced two cuts tonight. If they have more to make, I'd think they would just make them instead of releasing news to the players.

eh, maybe I'm looking at it wrong... who knows.

If you're going to quote a writer, where is the link.

Otherwise this thread is dead from pure speculation.

I'm not really questioning the story, so much as how the original post makes it sound like you saw a Solomon report somewhere, when it's really just hearsay at this point, regardless of how solid the source might be.
 
Maybe it's ultimatum time for JJ and Meco?

"Sleep on your decision tonight, for tomorrow you will be cut if your agent cannot restructure to help us out..."

I can only think that maybe Winston and Leinart's agents were adamant they would not consider such a scenario...so they were cut today. JJ and Meco and their agents are wanting a night to mull it over???

Otherwise, why not make the cuts at the same time you made the Winston and Leinart cuts?
 
Certain entities? Nate, could you specify that a little for me please, thanks. I would not be surprised if Ryans gets cut. He gets paid a ton and does not play on passing downs.

Because that would blow Peyton Manning's cover! :lol:

It's not about restructuring.

Their deals are pretty evenly balanced throughout the life of the contract. They're not front-loaded.

There is simply nowhere to push the money to, we're up against the cap the next two years, and the fat must be trimmed.

I love Demeco, but he's getting paid about twice what he's worth right now.

Understood. In about 11 hours it will hit twitter and then here. Until then they can change the title of this thread to "Rumor: meco and jacoby to be cut" or something along those lines.

Sorry for the confusion everyone. It will happen though.

Surely idonno:. But my gut says you might not be.

If the reports we're hearing about 'meco & Jacoby are sound, then there's something stirring. If it's just to sign Mario, then I agree. That might be that "at all cost" clause that's been discussed.

If not, it's going to be interesting.

Hope this doesn't come across as cruel, but this is the most exciting off season to date, or is it just me?

Mario and Manning in the same free agency class? Yeah, it's pretty intense.

It's like Christmas for me. I open one thread, but I'm tossing it aside so I can open another thread. Oooooh look over there! ANOTHER THREAD?!?!? Gimme gimme gimme!!!!! YAY!!!!! :passes out:

My feelings exactly. I posted on Facebook that free agency is like Christmas all over again
 
Soloman is just butt hurting now and throwing **** out hoping it sticks. Dude doesn't know jack about the Texans. Him and Warner have been crying like little beaches all night.
 
If it only saves 900k this year (Ryans)...maybe it saves more in later years. If FO was "embarrassed" to ask Winston to take a pay cut then they would be "really embarrassed" to ask Ryans. Very interesting night to say the least. I think if they cut Ryans he would not get anywhere the same amount of cash from any other team considering his injury. If this goes down Rick needs a rap or mafia type nickname. This FO has never ever been so aggressive in terms of cutting players (starters under 30).

Last year was very exciting.

Your friend probably tuned into 610 when they had Solomon on and listened in mid-conversation. Barry Warner threw out the suggestion of cutting Demeco instead of Winston and Solomon echoed the words "cut Demeco" quite a bit after that. He wasn't saying they should but ran with that scenario instead of letting go of Winston.
