per Mark Berman of Channel 26 Demps signed a 2 year contract with the Texans.

I am happy to hear that we re-signed him.

There is a god and today he was a Texans fan!

NICE JOB RICK SMITH!

The smartest move in FA YET!
 
Sweet!

Hopefully a combination of Demps, Harrison, Brown, and Earl will give us good enough depth at the safety position so that we can get after some more CB's!

Thanks alot?

Signed,

Andre Davis

LOL, but seriously this is a great signing. I'm so glad we kept Demps AND Davis! This really shows me some good things to get these guys back: about the Texans, coaching staff, Kubiak, Smith, etc.

More telling, perhaps, is the fact that the guys wanted to come back rather than run screaming from the building.

Culture shift, anyone?
 
Smart quiet moves by Rick Smith. This team is completely committed to building through the draft and it shows.

I think we've solidified our secondary with this signing and getting someone to cover our CB base with Reeves. I'm expecting us to make a run at a vet RB as well.

Wouldn't mind making a run at Olivea either. All in all looks like this will put us in a position to have our choice of BPA at a need.

I believe you if you say you saw it, but I'll feel better when I can see it myself.
Just so you know, if you're punking us, I'm coming through the internet to stab you in the neck with a pork chop bone...! :jk:


(sad that I feel like I have to put a j/k in there in case someone actually thinks I can come through the internet with a pork chop bone...)

Exactly, I think we are pretty set at safety, we can focus on other areas of need, especially CB.


Great job the the GM.

Just saw it on NFL network.
2 Years, 4.7 mil.


Nice price, IMO.

LOL nice one. Almost forgot
 
Glad to see him coming back!

I think with a full offseason as well as training camp, Demps is going to prove to be a solid piece of our secondary.
 
Here's the link:

http://www.myfoxhouston.com/myfox/p...n=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=6.1.1

Free agent safety Will Demps told FOX 26 Sports he will return to the Houston Texans after agreeing to a new contract Tuesday night.

"I have agreed to a 2-year deal," said Demps. "So I will continue playing with the Texans.

"I wanted to get it done. I didn't want to take any visits."

The Texans signed Demps following the first game of the 2007 season after he was released by the Giants. He played in 15 games for Houston starting eight.

"Houston is the place I wanted to be," Demps said. "I am excited because this is the place where I really felt comfortable."

Demps was voted as an alternate to the 2008 Pro Bowl.

very good price especially in this offseason's market. it sounds like we are starting to not have to overpay anymore and people just want to start.

this signing and the money makes me think we may have shaken the expansion tag...sure hope so..i thought he was a dolphin for sure
 
After all he was a probowl alternate and didnt even PLAY THE FULL SEASON. No telling what will happen now, with a year in this system, Ray Rhodes on Staff, and a full off season workout?

UH OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Great news indeed! But I see this move differently than others here. I figure that this move ALLOWS us to look at the offensive side of the ball in Round 1, being either RB or OT. This draft is really deep at CB, so taking a guy in the 3rd (or maybe 2nd w/ trade) that's not as polished as a 1st day CB is a definate scenerio. And with the Texan staff having a keen eye for talent, we could be drafting the next Bennett. Cheers!
 
Ok maybe now he can finally update his website! Maybe add some new and better photos of himself? He certainly has the money to do so now...;)
 
i'm actually very excited about this. he played pretty well during his tenure as a starter (WORK ON YOUR HANDS, MAN!!!), and i would have been even more worried about our already questionable secondary had he left.

good job, rick.

Should have better hands now that his "monster arm cast/club" is off! At least I hope so. Good signing!
 
I saw this article yesterday about the Redskins bringing him in for a visit (nobody panic this was written March 1st):

Safety Will Demps likely will be the first free agent to meet with the Washington Redskins this year when he visits Redskin Park later this week
Click to expand...
In the wake of the shooting death of Pro Bowl starter Sean Taylor in November, the Redskins are looking for a safety to play next to LaRon Landry.

Washington Times

After seeing that and knowing the Redskins' prior history of breaking the bank in FA, I thought Demps was as good as gone. Makes me appeciate the job Rick Smith is doing even more, especially considering the reported contract seems very reasonable. Go Texans!
 
it seems this is really the 1st year the players are buying in & the Texans don't have to break the bank to get them signed, thats a positive transformation thats not going unnoticed throughout the NFL :thumbup
 
This really takes Kenny Phillips out of the Texans radar at face value, but why not turn a weakness into a strength if KP is your bpa at #18? Phillips does a good job in space too and based on Richard Smith's defensive scheme in the secondary, there is a lot of open space. In 2006 KP was arguably the DPOY and he just had an off 2007 campaign by his lofty standards.

After McFadden, Mendenhall, and Gholston, I have KP as the most likely guy to make an impact from Day One. CC can't cover his own shadow and pretty much needs to go. Why not roll out Demps and Phillips as your starting Safety tandem? I think that would take a weakness and turn it into a strength, and would help things out while Dunta rehabs and gets back.

Bennett, Reeves, Demps, Phillips. That aint a bad secondary at all from Day One. Or just sign McRee instead of drafting KP and draft one of the young corners and then you are even ramping up the domination. I want go get fired up about this defense and retaining Demps makes me feel good about that going forward....even though his website is selfindulgentnarcissism.com

Thanks Bob for ponying up the money to sign Demps...and not overpay. Nice Job.

I would rather add some speed to play along side Demps & CC. Phillips is not fast (4.55) this sets up more for a 4.33 guy like DRC in 1st or Antwaun Molden, Eastern Kentucky 4.39 in 3rd.
 
MAAAAAAAAAAN....

I miss Dunta:cry2: :crying: :cry2: :crying:

sorry, but seeing all these secondary talk makes me think about my Favorite Texan, Mr. Robinson, Get Healthy buddy....

Hate to be Bummer Bob, but I just have heart for the guy.....

This works 2 ways

See what I mean?
 
Didn't expect to retain him, so excited about that, estatic about the price we paid for him too.

I think like others that retaining Davis and Demps indicate our players believe success lies in the Texans future.
 
I think this solidifies what we allready knew, CB, OL, and RB are now set for early round priorties. I'm really glad that we got Demps back, but really worried we lost Hutchins. we needed to add vetran CB to fill in for Dunta, instead we got a backup to fill in for Hutchins. I really hope we are able to get lucky in the draft and get someone that can start right away.If we sign another corner in FA I would feel better about our #18 pick. Then we could move corner to the 3rd and concentrate on taking either a RB or OT in the first. Demps signing is positive though, I'm glad.

Rick Smith.

This is great and exciting news and a complete shock.
 
Solid move. Now let's get our future CB, LT, and RB. Heres to having a great draft!
 
I said it at some point last year that our two top FA targets were our own players, Davis and Demps (DD, ha). I can now sleep better at night.

Think they will start selling a Texans man thong with Demps' picture on it at the home games?
