Here is a thread where you can find people on this mb already complaining about said signing.
This is a FUTURES contract.
This is like... nothing. A non-story. We'll probably sign another 8-9 of these guys and then we might not even take them to the OTAs.

Actually signed 5-6 more with Thomas, but I sort of enjoy the silly overreaction from the "news"
sigh...wish people would understand why being cute with titles is really not that cute.
My reaction isn't more or less about the signing of a player, but the signing of Thomas. He was traded for midseason by the Lions, caught 5 passes in 9 games, and then didn't make it through training camp. Understand this is likely training camp fodder, but is he even good enough to be that at this point?
give the janitor a future's. I am willing that they look at everyone including truck drivers, pizza guys and grocery clerks.
... Was just curious what happened to him.

It's a fairly slow Texans news period, but came across this list, some names of which I'm not familiar with at all.

Yeah, Terrell was fast. I remember him returning kicks in 2012.
Can he tackle? I'd love to see a 4.34 safety... but only if he can tackle.
For the less familiar to most names, I'm seeing a trend...
