He's gonna want Champ Bailey money....

I want Champ Bailey money too.
We can make a run at Clements. If he was the only free agent we picked up, I wouldn't cry. He can flat-out play the pass. We need that.
I'd hope for a volume of contributors than a single superstud though.
Nate was on sportsradio 610 a couple of weeks ago and he said then that he would love to play in Houston since he lives here but the money has to be right.
the reason the texans drafted mario over bush was becasue they said they did not want to out score peyton but to try to stop him, what better way to help stop manning is to get a shut down corner
I'm wondering if Domanick Williams has restructured his contract seeing as he hasn't been cut. I'd like to see the implications of these cuts capwise to see if signing Clements would keep us from signing anyone else.

Maybe they're just waiting to cut DW while no one is watching....
This just in - the best players want top money to sign as a FA.
So the alternative is to bring in a bunch of nobodys?
Is the goal to win, or is there a prize for saving money? I would rataher win the SB than win the stingiest team contest.
If we can sign Nate, do it unless the money just gets silly. We don't even know what the deal is yet, but people are already slamming it.
I hear Sister Mary from the Catholic School is available and much cheaper. :brickwall
Well said. You never average player your way to SB.This just in - the best players want top money to sign as a FA.

790 just said that NC is on the texans list for bringing in.... I like it but I dont want to spend all our money on one guy. what do you all think?
if you mean getting jumped outside of a Seattle nightclub as an innocent bystander, then that is a tough way to get a "character concern" label. it's not like this guy is adam jones or anything.Actually, I would rather have one really good guy that fills a tremendous position of need than more FA depth guys.
So, I actully don't care if we spend all of our available FA designated money on Clements. I would have given the nod to Samuels but unfortunately New England took care of that when they put the franchise tag on him. That said, I doubt we will get him as the price for him may go over what we can pay even if use the whole pot on him. My second choice is Hamlin the FS from Seattle but I will be shocked if we take a shot at him because of off the field character concerns.
IMO, we need someone really good on the other side of D(sorry about my mouth)Rob to push him since he has regressed over the last two years. If not FA then we will need to burn a draft pick on CB when we should be drafting a OLT, FS, OLB, WR, C/OG and DT (probably in that order btw regarding need) which is another reason why you suck it up and get it done with Clements if you can.

Just because you don't go out and sign every big name player doesn't mean that you are signing a bunch of nobodies. And even if they are nobodies, how do you know they are bad? Last time I checked, the Patriots won a few Super Bowls with a bunch of nobodies and the Saints filled the majority of their roster with a bunch of nobodies this year.
Would you rather us be like the Redskins?
i'd love to get hamlin. it seems like there is a decent safety market this year, and we sure could use a tangible upgrade over brown and earl. does hamlin figure at free or strong safety?Good to know and I for one hope that the Texans agree with you on that. I have mentioned many times in previous posts that Hamlin was high on my wish list. He is big (6'2" or something) for a FS and would be a definite upgrade over CC Brown IMO.

He is a FS which is where we are weakest IMO. If we miss on Hamlin, there are a couple of interesting prospects in the draft though. I am not aware of any other viable FA FS out there.
Almost any FS or SS we sign or draft (if they are drafted in the first 3 round) would be an upgrade over what we have now.
I agree with the FS part of your statement and would add perhaps even in the 4th round this year. I'm not as down on Earl as some of you guys are (doesn't mean that you guys aren't right about him though). I just did not notice as much from him that disappointed me last year as I did with CC Brown. BTW, while we are on the subject of our defensive backfield, Drob who I have steadfastly been very positive on really disappointed me last year with his lack of consistency so this unit really needs some help.
Without starting a holy war here, I would say that our defensive backfield is our second weakest link (#1 being our offensive line IMO).
