From your POV best to say "up until now aren't risk takers".
You actually expect them to be aggressive?
History says differently, but I hope you're correct.

Disgruntled because of the way he thinks he was treated medically? I think even non left tackles like me and you can understand that. lol. He wants more money..me too! Didn't JJ Watt have disgruntlement before signing his current contract? Then there was some guy name AJ who is now a coach.I dunno but seems to me that Trent Williams sounds like another disgruntled left tackle who the Texans might be reluctant to hook up with after the Duane Brown experience.
Atleast on the offensive side of the ball the Texans would seem to have a happy locker room.
Thing is these left tackles have a unique form of leverage at their disposal because of the teams imperative to protect the franchise QB.
So you Williams situation is not that much unlike the situations that Watts & AJ had in Houston ?Disgruntled because of the way he thinks he was treated medically? I think even non left tackles like me and you can understand that. lol. He wants more money..me too! Didn't JJ Watt have disgruntlement before signing his current contract?

all three wanted more money. I'm not upset at that type disgruntlement.So you Williams situation is not that much unlike the situations that Watts & AJ had in Houston ?
True dat !all three wanted more money. I'm not upset at that type disgruntlement.
Seahawks 2019 first round picks LJ Collier defensive end reportedly carted off the field.
Unfortunately Seattle has nothing I want at this time.That's morbid dude. But I like where your head is at.
Patriots have restructured starting right tackle Marcus Cannon contract and freeing up 2.5 million dollars. Cap space now should be about 12-13 million.
Nope. His 2019 base is 11 and he's gonna want more than 2.5Just enough to pay Trent Williams.
And, per a report from Jason La Canfora, the big lineman’s relationship with the team is irreparable.
Language like that seems to lend itself to the notion that Williams could be on his way out of Washington sooner rather than later. And if they are motivated to move him, the Browns should be more than willing to oblige them.
Even better for Cleveland is the fact that, at this point, it seems that the Redskins have little to no leverage in regards to Williams. If he truly is just done with the organization, then Washington will have to be in a position to take what they can get in a potential trade. That means the Browns could get a new franchise left tackle for pennies on the dollar, which would be ideal — at least until they sign him to a new deal.
I know everyone thinks I'm crazy to push Jalen Ramsey but many said the same thing about Trent Williams absolutely unavailable. Here is an article about Jags needing to signed defensive player to new contract. That would push salary cap and encourage Ramsey to go elsewhere. Ngakoue had more sacks over the last three years than did Flowers.Jalen Ramsey cornerback Jaguars showing up to training camp last week in an armored money truck indicates to me he still wants Mucho Dinero. Will he get it? Not anytime soon from Jacksonville. All he can continue to do is make himself a nuisance and Jags owner does not like that. If Texans complete trade for Trent Williams, I think we will see more antics from Mr Ramsey. Seeing Texans stepping up for Jonathan Joseph this week and giving a healthy New Deal to Trent Williams would make Ramsey salivate. Perhaps Patrick Peterson would become vocal again also.

although every Source I have reviewed that discussed Ramsey possibly being traded listed only a first round pick, I would include Lonnie Johnson our 2019 second round pick and go up to include 2020 and 2021 first rounders. So Johnson now and two Firsts in future. Jags absolutely do not want to trade Ramsey but it looks like it may come down to money and lots of it which they do not have. 18 million dollars Cap now but in 2020 they are in the red 8 million dollars. That's before any increase to Yannick.Hey Badboy your thoughts on Ramsey are very interesting, and he's a tremendous CB. Wow how great would it be if he were here in Houston !
OK so unlike T.Williams, Ramsey is one player who's absolutely worth a first round pick.
The Patriots now have to trade players with comparable money to bring in Williams at what he wants.
I disagree. Any team trading for Trent Williams should expect to have to come up with more money to avoid him sitting out. This is to the Texans Advantage as they do have the cap space where other teams do not. An extension like Tom Brady's today is exactly what I expect from Texans. Not the 70 m but a signing bonus and perhaps roster bonus. TW could pocket almost immediately. A 4 year extension to spread bonus over perhaps 19 and 20 base GTD but may not have to do that.Cost of Trent Williams is what it is. The remainder of his contract stays intact. It would be a surprise to the new team if he is traded, then demands more money.
What other NFL players in similar situations are observing all this? We know Patrick Peterson is. Just a thought.If the Texans could sign Trent Williams it would sew up the LT position for this and the 2020 seasons. They could then put an offer out to the Jags for Ramsey since LT will not be an immediate issue. I agree with badboy that getting Ramsey would make the secondary pretty special and adding Williams to the OL could make Watson and the offense much more special.
The 31-year-old Williams is due $23.5MM in base salary over the next two seasons, but given that he wants a new deal from Washington, any club that acquires Williams will likely need to increase that figure. Williams’ $13.2MM average annual value currently ranks seventh among left tackles behind Taylor Lewan, Nate Solder, Jake Matthews, Joe Staley, Donovan Smith, and Russell Okung.

I think Texans will likely target CB, RB, T and pass rusher.Hoping the next four weeks will show some cuts from the other 31 teams that could benefit Houston. If you have any possibilities of players you think could be surprising cuts from those teams please post. I heard today the Texans would still like to add another corner possible trade.
A decent RB is a nice addition.I think Texans will likely target CB, RB, T and pass rusher.
I will be pissed if they don't make at least a couple of moves.
The only reason I would forgive them is if the guys they keep vindicate their decision.
I posted this in Clowney trade thread but easier for me to find and refer to here.My plan:
#1 Twilliams: We trade our 2020 remaining third +our 2021 second which is the DBrown deal with Washington keeping their 5th. We still have our first and second round 2020.
#2 We trade Clowney to Raiders for OLB Maxx Crosby whom I mocked pre draft. We also get Raiders two 2020 firsts. Their own is projected from 6th to 10th without JD and with him (it depends on Raiders thinking he makes them better) dropping that selection lower. Their second via Chicago projected 25th. Results we have three firsts.
Now we have TWill whom we offer an extra $10 m in 2019 only to discourage PATs and other offers if any. He has his current two year deal also extended four years making him a just turned 36 in last non GTD year. I believe I have posted a suggested package for him similar to Trent Brown's elsewhere. He would earn his current base $10.9 + our extra $10 for $21 million. Leaving us $17 million space plus CLowney's $16 m= $27 m.
#3 We now have Raiders 1. 10 or a bit lower our own 1.? and Raiders (Bears) 1.25; offer 1.25 plus our 2021 first round plus CB Lonnie Johnson to Jags for Ramsey. Jags then have DJ Hayden, Lonnie Johnson and Tre Herndon to play opposite Bouye. They also have their own 2020 first plus the Raider/Bears first to select from several available good corners. They can extend DE Yannick Ngakouye without listening to Ramsey for two more seasons. They also have two firsts now in 2021.
We can offer Ramsey his choice of top five deals for example Josh Norman's deal in 2016 per OTC ** NOTE Norman's first contract year was base $5 million + 3 year prorated bonus to count only $8 million against salary cap. Ramsey's current 2019 base is $3.6. IOWs he would go to $5 m & have a $15 m signing bonus in hand with a cap hit of $8 m. Texans at $27 [post Clowney and after including Williams] - $8 m Ramsey = $19 million remaining cap.
Summary: we have LT Trent Williams 7 time pro bowler locked for 6 more seasons. We have Jalen Ramsey one year ALL PRO plus a second year pro bowler to play opposite Joseph moving Roby to Slot plus keeping others fresh. We have OLB Crosby whom I think could start sometime 2019 opposite Watt. We have Raiders first which should be 16 or higher plus our own which you have at 15 and I think will be closer to 28 with these two additions. We are now the go to place for players. We still have $19 million cap. We are in win now and win future mode.
Buffalo has 25 million cap space this year which easily absorbs the 16 from Clowney. Clowney, Henderson and Kalil for left tackle Dion Dawkins and RT Cody Ford? Both players were second round picks and JD would be the guy on the defense. Bills desperately need him.Boetteger could probably hold down left tackle with Conor McDermott on the right side. I could see Clowney refusing trade if he wants shot at ring and not just cash. Trade would make for great trivia question.
