I wonder who we would lose if their was a new team picking today.
**** Tony Boselli forever and ever and ever.
Since most teams used it to get out of contracts with no cap penalties, I wouldn't be surprised if DeMeco Ryans was left unprotected. He's a good player, but was a invisible man in Wade's system.
Not late in the season tho.
I was so pumped and thrilled to have another Houston team. Boselli where are you?
Pretty good defense to start out with for Vic Fangio. Didn't they rank like 15th in defense (middle of the pack) in 2002? Gary Walker, Aaron Glenn, Jamie Sharper and Seth Payne. Marcus Coleman was pretty good also. I'd take those guys all over again. I remember playing NFL 2K3 on XBOX Live. People would always laugh at me over the microphone for picking the expansion Texans but I'd usually hold my own on defense. Would usually lose to the better teams but I kept it low scoring and respectable. Not much I could do on offense with David Carr, Billy Miller, Corey Bradford and Jonathan Wells. I was lucky to get a first down. A lot of 20-13, 17-6, 10-3 type of losses.Not a bad bunch to start a franchise with.
That's a fun question. Each team has to have 5 players from which an expansion franchise can draft. My list would be:
Andrew Gardner - [2012: $540,000, 2013: Restricted Free Agent]
Quintin Demps - [2012: Free Agent]
Derrick Ward - [2012: Free Agent]
Mister Alexander - [11/1/2011: Signed a three-year, $1.395 million contract. 2012: $465,000, 2013: $555,000, 2014: Restricted Free Agent]
Sherrick McManis - [5/27/2010: Signed a four-year, $1.982 million contract. The deal included a $192,000 signing bonus. 2011: $405,000, 2012: $490,000, 2013: $575,000, 2014: Free Agent]
You can't have guys who are going to be restricted or unrestricted free agents the next season though. Don't know what their contract status is.
You know Ryans isn't going anywhere. He's a leader on this team and that trumps the reduction in playing time....I wouldn't be surprised if DeMeco Ryans was left unprotected. He's a good player, but was a invisible man in Wade's system.
3 Aaron Glenn Cornerback New York Jets $8,013,177
4 Gary Walker Defensive Tackle Jacksonville Jaguars $5,250,000
Couldn't they have cropped that picture as to not include #71?

Funny thing was Casserly made a deal that if he took Walker and Paynes contracts, they would put Boselli up and let him go. How did that work out?
Boselli was a decent gamble, since he was an elite LT pre injury. They just didn't address plan B. They put eggs in that basket and went to town.
We could've got Willie Roaf from the Saints. We passed on him and went for Boselli. Boselli never played a down and Willie Roaf went on to have a few more pro bowl seasons with KC.
