Not really.
Even if they were...
Dre's out, Posey, Martin, Jean, Walter...
Need more, dude...and a vet won't hurt one bit.
kubiak said that they would be looking at veterans a few weeks back.

Doubt it. 3 days can't really tell you much. Kubes had previously said he wanted to look at vets I believe.

Sims-Walker was plagued with injuries last season playing only 6 games because of a groin, shoulder and 2 knee injuries. Like AJ, we don't know what we will be getting.
Could be a good pickup, I was under the impresion that we were waiting for other teams to cut some players (NE anyone?).
Seems like MSW is always injured lately, hopefully not another Mason taking the roster spot of somebody like Dwight Jones who can develop to be a good WR for us.

But the younguns have got to be better than this....

Hell, Bryant Johnson is listed higher than Sims-Walker...

To add to my above injury history, His last knee injury last year required surgery. The knee injuries bother me since he tore the ACL in his left knee during college. The Jaguars put him on IR during his rookie season with a knee injury. He sprained his knee in 2008 and also suffered from staph infection in the left knee, causing him to miss three games. 2009 was a healthy year for him. Then in 2010, he didn't have knee problems, but did suffer a high ankle sprain late in the season.........though he did undergo a knee surgery in the 2011 offseason.

I looked up his stats in a sporting news fantasy mag I have. Hes ranked 55 overall among wideouts. Their assessment reads, "most likely a bench option no matter where he plays."

Like? 31 year old Donte Stallworth? 33 year old Deion Branch? Or how about 34 year old Chad Johnson (that's right, I call him Johnson). If these guys have anything left, they'll be catching passes from Brady.

Didnt 30 something jabar gaffney sign with the pats to?
Gaffney will likely stick. He still has some game left.

This is just a workout, no deal signed. I doubt the Texans even make him a camp body.
Sounds like a camp body to me.
I just hope A.J. is ready for camp so the younguns can see what WR perfection looks like
ItsMyFault
It's on me.
Meh, if he impresses enough to be signed I'm fine with adding some depth and experience. Like others said, injuries are a concern but I guess if we don't have anywhere else to go and he's available and impresses, I'd be alright with them signing him.
I'd just as soon give this guy a call if I were looking for someone to challenge the rooks.

"Reliable hands", a willing blocker, 6'-5", and a "very good core special-teams player"...? Now that's worth a look IMHO.
Heck, the only reason we even know who Sims-Walker is because he played for a division rival.

IMO, Ochocinco has truggled in NE because he can not be himself. Yeah he is flamboyant at times, pops off at the mouth and uses Twitter worse than Arian. I think he would revitalize his career here. Only team mate he really ever had issues with was TO....he is friends with Dre and I think he would be a great fit.

Would that be without or with crutches?
At least he's on the bench, not in a wheelchair

I really hope the Texans dont sign this guy. I just dont like him. For one thing, he is a former Glitter Kitty, he is injury prone... and he just sucks.

That was Mike Thomas.
Mike sims walker has had two indivdual seasons better than the entire career of this clown.

Texans have shown a propensity to regularly work out potential players throughout the season & during the offseason -- players who appear at face value to not have a chance & afterwards aren't called back.
I wonder if it's a practice to keep the talent evaluators busy, keep them "sharp", or keep them abreast of the market? Whichever, we've seen a lot of players pass through here for a look-see that doesn't amount to any more than that.

He's also had two seasons that were easily better than Jacoby's best for us. Folks in J'ville weren't happy when the Jags decided not to tender him after the 2010 season, and to me that's a better indicator than most.
I don't know about his current health, or the likelihood of future knee/shoulder problems, but I think that if health isn't a big issue, this is a guy who's proven he can make plays in the NFL, and as has been pointed out before, that's something that's sorely lacking right now. He'll come cheap, and he'll come for a one year deal. IMO, finding a spot on the 90 man roster for this guy and seeing what happens next wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

The correct answer is D - None of the above.
Not old - just perpetually injured.

Go Texans!
I'd like to keep it in proper perspective here:
Both those teams had MAJOR problems putting together anything that resembled a professional PASSING attack. QB issues, protection issues, and overall coaching/scheme issues too.
Getting cut from those two teams, last year, was the best thing that could happen to any player who wants another shot at being a WR in the NFL. otherwise, you're going to get hurt or suffer piss-poor stats all season long while being on a truly awful team.
Not saying Sims-Walker is the next Andre Johnson or anything, since we know how that worked out for Dwight Jones upon making that prediction, but I;m saying that I know there's two AFC South games this year Sims-Walker would love to play for the Texans in.
