Look like McDaniels thinks that David Anderson is some version of Wes Welker.

Houston Texans WR David Anderson, a restricted free-agent, has received an offer sheet from the Denver Broncos. The Texans have seven days to match or he will become a member of the Broncos and they will receive a seventh-round pick as compensation.

I'm fine with that. If we don't retain him I don't think it's that big of a loss. I don't consider him a playmaker. He catches and runs but I feel like he dropped the tough ones frequently.
 
Hmm...local product of Denver.

I'd sure hate to see Anderson leave, like him as the #4 wideout and backup punt returner. Guy plays his heart out.

Interesting as well considering they just Signed Jabar Gaffney.
 
Weird huh? Now the Broncos are trying to get our players. It shows how much better our team is. I wonder what the numbers are on this deal.
 
Hopefully the contract isn't huge and we match it. Doubt we find anyone better with an extra 7th rounder. I know he was a 7th rounder but at that point there are more misses than hits by a large margin. He has improved every year as a player and his production has improved every year. Sounds like a really good locker room guy too, a bit of a clown.

Look like he is really trying to mirror NE's style players...They signed two veteran :yawn: type RBs, Gaffney and now a Wes Welker wannabe. Reads like NE west.
 
I like Anderson, I hope we match. People get too excited for picks, Anderson is better than a likely 7th. He gets first downs, blocks, and seems like a good locker room guy.
 
Meh. Not fussed. Nobody who sports a mullet at any stage of their life deserves to be supported in any way, shape or form.


Wouldn't be too displeased if we matched the offer though.

Agreed. I love Anderson and think he is good enough to be our 3rd WR in the slot actually. Don't want to lose that guy.

To have a 7th rounder contribute at all a few years out is probably above-average. No question he is worth more than a 7th round roll of the dice. I hope the offer sheet is one we can match easily.

If the team was serious about getting rid of Jacoby Jones (I don't think so, I think they were trying to wake him up by letting that leak out), and if Anderson were to leave, our WR corps would suddenly go from a strength to something that needs to be addressed.

Then again, this could be the draft to address it.
 
What are the contract details? Does anyone know how RFA tendering works? I knew someone was gonna try and sign DA as soon as I saw he got a 7th round tender. I wish we could've bumped it up to a 3rd-4th round tender but I think its either the round they're drafted...then bumped to a 1st...then bumped to a 1st/3rd.

I'd love to get him back unless of course he's getting starter/high # 3 money.

We've already paid AD, AJ, and are gonna have to pay KW and OD. Unfortunately, unless its a bargain price I dont think we're gonna get to keep DA.
 
why did we put such a low tender on him in the first place? he's certainly worth coughing up a 7th rounder for.
 
Miscue by Smith?

Maybe. Personally I can't believe he's getting this much attention. I hope it's not too much because I think him being the #3 is solid. At least we would get fair compensation for him.

In all due respect...What kind of statement was that?:shocked
 
Hope he doesn't leave. I thought he made some pretty good catches while he was here (And who can forget his string dance).

I'm tipping this beer for you lightning mullet homey.
 
I think we will match. He can step in and keep this offense pumping on all cylinders if someone goes down. Also he has great hands. Ive never seen him drop anything.
 
Personally, I'd much rather lose JJ than Anderson. JMO however. I hope we keep Anderson if the price isn't to high.

Agreed. From what I've heard of him, he's a head down, harding working kinda guy, who produces, albeit unspectaculary without doing much dumb stuff, and keeps things tickign when he's asked to step up.

Hopefully he hasn't been offered anything stupid, but we should be seriously looking at matching.
 
just a question while we're on the subject: unlikely as it may be, can a rfa reject an offer sheet from another team?
 
I'm fond of saying that running backs are "a dime a dozen" because I truely believe it. But when it comes to WRs does that same statement apply ?Anderson is a Californian who played his college ball in Ft Collins and would probably enjoy returning to his old stompin grounds in CO.
 
oohhh let him go. Let's not get bent out of shape over a 4/5th WR. Sure he's a nice guy, but take th pick and move on. Maybe that's an important peice of the package we use to move up in the draft. Anyone know what Denver's 7th round is worth 2 or 3 pts? Just kidding guys.... He's a great guy but he'll never start here, nor make an impact, take what you can get and let him go.
 
"In a surprising move, Denver signed receiver David Anderson, a third-year restricted free agent, to a three-year, $4.5 million offer sheet that includes a $1 million signing bonus. The Texans have a week to match Anderson’s deal or let him go and get a seventh-round pick in return."

Thats chump change, this guy is arguably our third best WR, match it.

Happy trails Mullet... Sorry JC but he is 4th at best and I seriously doubt that we match. Hell our F/O was probably cheering and high fiving for the 7th round pick when this came across the wire.

OK so he is our 4th WR. Better than having to draft one in the 4th round.

Your guessing with Jenkins because he is unproven.

Guessing what? Whether we can draft a 4-5th WR. Proven what? That playing along side our receiving corps you might get left open?

come on, 1/40th of Fat Al in guarantees, we can afford that. He is still improving, I could see him catching 30-40 balls next year in an expanded role.

you make a good point, but if we are serious about ever picking up a top tier F/A we can't get hung up on guys who are real deep on the depth chart cause they did a funny dance. (albiet it was our most memorable spot on sports center, that we scored at least)
 
I don't know, if we lose DA and JJ it just weakens our WR group. You can say we can replace them in the draft, or FA but...... We need to hold on to one of them, so we can concentrate on filling other needs.
 
He is the 4th at best..maybe 5th receiver. A 7th is hard to get to make the team but I wouldn't waste too much money matching. I like his fire though.
 
Most 7th round picks never contribute in the NFL. So if you are all for taking the pick, you're basically saying you'll take your chance that you can buck the odds again. Furthermore, we paid a 7th round pick for him. So what do we gain by this? Nothing. We invested time and coaching in him, as well as a 7th round pick, then when he finally contributes, you want to trade him off for a 7th that probably won't ever contribute.

That doesn't add up. I don't know what the offer was, but if it's anything comparable to similar WRs in the NFL, I say cough it up. If you don't, you've essentially wasted it all.

Okay, here is $4,500,000.00... now go back to the bench. oh, and on your way, could you stop by Demeco and laugh in his face!

Would you give that contract to a #4 CB? Or your 4th Tackle? Why give it to a slot receiver who can't block and can't help on special teams?

If the Texans really wanted to keep Anderson, they would have given him a 2nd round tender. No bonus, no guaranteed money, no worries about an offer sheet. No team was going to risk losing their 2nd round pick on a WR who averages 1 catch per game. Receivers like Anderson can found in the 7th round every year. Look it up. There's no reason to overpay for an Anderson-type player.

Someone finally gets it. He had a nice little gimmick going with the mullet and line dancing, but for 4.5 mil, he can go to denver and make out with his sister in the end-zone every time he scores. We have starters to pay here!
 
I understand that not much is gained for the investment in David Anderson but that is all past. Now is he worth 4.5 or his original down-payment, a 7th? Against the money I'm going for the 7th, hoping to use it as a boost in a trade somewhere in the draft and at the very worst trying my luck on another 7th round wideout.

This falls firmly into the "who cares" category. I'm starting to think we have Jenkins family members on the board, though.
 
4.5 mill! dang it, there is no way they re-sign him... I really like the guy but even I think this is a little high. I would be ok either way now.
 
Kevin Walter's third year in Cincinnati he caught the same amount of balls that David did for us this past season. Anderson's ceiling is not as high as Walter but there is upside in him still. I think he was our third best WR last season, ahead of Andre Davis. I think he is perfect in the slot and his role will continue to expand next season. Andre Davis got a 4 year deal for 16 mil with 8 mil guaranteed and just because he is a decent return man doesn't mean he is worth 7 mil more guaranteed. You guys are acting like 4.5mil is a substantial amount of money. I don't believe it is.
 
Look what the Texans have done with 7th round picks and tell yourself that they can't get someone that's comparable. He is a backup WR on the team. The Texans don't need to be giving out $4.5 million contracts to backups at positions where they can draft and fill the same need. How much of his success is his talent and how much is because when he's on the field the defenses are focusing on Andre or OD or even Walter? This is similar to what we did with Kevin Walter. Does anyone here think that Anderson would be as good in the same role as Walter has been? I don't. I liked Anderson for what he was, but I don't think he should get the same kind of contract that Walter got. It's just my opinion, but teams like the Patriots and Steelers seem to always get an extra pick here and there from letting their RFAs go and drafting cheaper replacements.
 
maybe we can train him up to play ILB, you know cause after we spend the money that is needed to resign our STARTERS we're going to have some real holes to fill.

Getting draft picks for 7th rounders is GOLD! That is what we want. We want a shot to find that gem of a starter in the 7th round. Will it pan out? No more than yes, but please loose the love affair with benchwarmers. If the Texans announced the David Anderson was a starter this board would freaking implode! It Ain't going to happen, but maybe just maybe we find a player in the 7thround of this years draft who might have the possibility of being a starter or a diamond in the rough. $4,500,000.00 Come on guys... Seriously???? Seriously??

We are now an easy transition for receivers. A receiver friendly enviroment DA can be replaced...
