Three GMs/personnel people also told me they think Jax CB Rashean Mathis could be had for mid-rd pick.
Now I know we all want a #2 WR ( me included) but I think a #2 CB may be more important.
Just checked Mathis salary looks like makes $4.45 million in 2011,i think thats out of the Texans price range unless they could reconstruct a couple deals.
This is the last year of his deal.
I pulled this from a pregame match up article:
Rashean Mathis, of course, just might be the all-time greatest cornerback to play against the Steelers – or at least the greatest of this century. The Jaguars have given the Steelers fits over the years, but this time the Steelers only need to stop one player on each side of the ball.
The Jaguars have won four of the last five meetings against the Steelers, and the last three at Heinz Field. Mathis has been a common denominator throughout.
Drafted in the second round in 2003 out of Bethune-Cookman after intercepting an NCAA record 14 passes as a senior (31 college career), Mathis has 31 career NFL interceptions (including postseason) and six of those are against the Steelers, five off the arm of Ben Roethlisberger. Every one of Mathis’s three NFL touchdowns have been scored against the Steelers.
In 2005, his 41-yard interception return for a touchdown won the game in overtime. He also partially blocked a punt.
In 2006, his only Pro Bowl season, Mathis intercepted two passes in the fourth quarter of a 9-0 win.
In the 2007 playoffs, Mathis’s 63-yard interception return for a touchdown gave the Jaguars a 14-7 second-quarter lead. Another second-quarter interception set the Jaguars up to take a 21-7 lead. Mathis also returned an interception 72 yards for a touchdown to start the 2008 game.
