Let me start off by stating that I am not a capologist. The whole point of this post is to have someone in the know tell me whether or not my assumptions are right or wrong. Anyway, here goes.
Trades
The Texans trade Carr to the Jets for Abraham and a 3rd round pick. We take a hit from Carr's bonus money, but that hit is offset by getting Abraham without having to pay his bonus money. The Jets would then release Pennington and would be free to take Ferguson or maybe even Bush with the 4th pick. The Texans get a DE which we badly need and are in the position to take hometown hero Vincent Young while picking up an extra pick.
Free Agency
Sign Bentley. He is going to command a lot of money, but he is young and already a premier player in the interior line. We need him. I would also re-sign Gaffney since Kubiak apparently likes him. Obviously other FAs are needed, but at this point who knows who is going to be available.
Draft
1 - VY
2 - Jean-Giles if available or DeMeco Ryans
3 - Colledge
3 - Byrd
4 - David Thomas
