Jacoby Jones has re-signed with Houston

I really wanted to move on from JJ, I'm not ecstatic about this news.

Edit: just to be clear, as well, I think JJ would have had a better career with another (fresh start) team. Just like Gaffney did with the Broncos
 
Butler re-signed.

Jones re-signed. Looks like Plaxico is not coming here, IMO. Unless McNair and Smithiak think Plaxico takes the place of Walter. I dunno.

Leach?
 
I'm not gonna slit my wrists, but I AM gonna look into sAints jerseys.

In a somewhat shortened year it's probably best that you resign as many of your own players that know the system already.

Plus jacoby doesn't suck. Inconsistent yes. Suck, no.
 
More Jacoby hating. Want to save wasted cap space? Cutting David Anderson saves $1.1 million. Waiving Slaton (the 4th string RB) would also save over $1 million.

Not hating on him as a player but this just confirms we aren't getting a legit #2

Walter & Jones' numbers matchup with most #2 & #3 WR combos in the league. And that's with the best WR in the game. Combine Owen Daniels in the seams and Arian Foster out of the backfield, and the Texans passing attack should be just fine. Not an issue on a team that has so many issues.
 
I swear some of you guys act like our offense isn't very good. We can score and move the ball like the rest of 'em. Owen Daniels being healthy is a very good #2 option.
 
A very modest contract for a player that has a unique set of skills that other members of the roster do not possess.
 
We'd have to overpay for somebody with Jacoby's talent level.
He's young enough to still have his best football days ahead of him.
Might as well be with the Texans.

& it's not like he doesn't make plays.

You've got to respect him when he's on the field.


Maybe not so much as you'd have to respect a Plaxico Buress who had been training all summer & played football last year........ this bum coming out of prison I don't know.
 
I told U in terms of Free agenct we are manily just gonna re sign our own players

Butler Signed
D Lewis Signed
JJ signed

except Leech to be signed has well
 
I would say Jacoby gave Texans a hometown discount. 10 million over three years is good money but I'll wager in this system his stock will continue to rise over life of this contract.
 
Not bad. Should he continues to be the same or a little better, we can keep him or use him as trade bait in the future.

Go Texans!!!
 
I wonder if this is the end of the DA era? LZ has implied he could be a cap casualty over the last two mornings. This is especially true now that we've been able to retain JJ. I know a lot of people were thinking he'd end up with a different team.
 
Not a Jones fan, but it is a good contract for the Texans and provides continuity in light of the shortened pre-season.

However, I would like to see him as a WR only.
 
I won't bother even bother going into JJ's recent demonstration of his kick-off and punt return "prowess." We've been looking for "value" and consistency there for how long?

Where I see the problem is that with AJ routinely double teamed and even triple teamed, people haven't stopped to really review how pathetic JJ's reception numbers have been........

2010 562yds
2009 437yds
2008 81yds
2007 149yds
TOTAL 1,229yds

One may try to make the argument that our offense "spreads the wealth" in smaller gradients to many "receivers." But this approach of multiple play small yardage pickups has killed us when the clock is running out in the 4th quarter while we are behind, and especially when we are deep inside our part of the field. There has not typically been the saving grace of many opportunities opened up for even moderately long pass yardage pickups, because there has not been that opposite (to AJ) field longer threat. Even when JJ has managed to break away down the opposite side of the field, it is a crap shoot if he can occasionally hang onto the ball. If a receiver can't consistently handle the ball when it comes to him, he can't even be considered a legitimate decoy.

I love KW for his consistently good hands. But his yardage has been in nibbles and he has barely broken 600 yards in either of the past 2 seasons.

Without that legitimate reliable longer threat #2 receiver, come from behind last minute scenarios remain more of a pipe dream And, with AJ having at least half the opposing team's secondaries almost hanging off of him every game, in time he can be expected to incure more than his share of injuries and enjoy a shortened career. As great as he is, you can only beat a horse so much before he finds his way to the glue factory.

I think OD is that legit #2 receiver. I know he plays TE, but he has awfully good hands that can stretch the D. I also think we found a weapon in Foster that we have not had since DD: a pass catching threat out of the backfield. So, JJ may really be target #4, not #2 in our scheme.

Its hard to move on from the potential that JJ has ..... if he can put it all together , this is a solid deal - If not , with only $3m guaranteed .... no big deal.

Sounds like Kubiak talking about Dan O.....


Not thrilled about this. Like Ephraim said, if IFS were FIFTHS, we'd all be d-runk.

I will say that if David Anderson and his act are finally let go or traded to Josh McDaniels for some advice I'll be more ok with JJ's re-signing. Between Dorin Dickerson and now Terrance Tolliver we have a couple real prospect studs waiting to get their shot. People who might make an impact one day.
 
Seems reasonable to me.

Could easily be structured with less than a 2 million cap hit this year. Seems reasonable for a 3rd (or 4th) receiver who can return kicks.

We were debating Andre's drops in 2006.

Dwayne Bowe just recently found his cure.

I think JJ's numbers would look much better if he was actually put into that #2 role.

By unique set of skills, do you mean running sloppy routes, dropping easy passes and not putting in the work to improve yourself?

click click. Dreesen is a very good back up to OD also. I've always been a fan of JJ even when he messed up my prediction last off season that he would go to pro bowl. I think JJ was a returner because he was asked to.
 
Just goes to show again that there's just no substitute for speed in the NFL, atleast at certain positions like WR.

GTo be fair, didn't JJ have a career year last season? Not tremendous but getting better.
Click to expand...
Um....not really. LINK
He had 24 more catches, 120+ more yds receiving than last year but lost 5 YPC and 3 fewer TD's. :strangle:
EDIT: Here's KW's stat line. This is not a good signing IMO.
 
I've never been a JJ guy, but this is a good signing. With only $3 million guaranteed, the Texans are free to cut him in 2012 if they choose to. Counting only $3 mill per year against the cap, he's being paid as a contributing backup. He is certainly that with upside, youth, and experience in the system to go with it... Not to mention that he is a weapon in special teams.

That's $3 mil that could go to an area of more pressing need this season. This season is do or die for the current regime. I'm hoping for do because I'm sick of mediocrity and JJ has defined that in the receiving game, so far. His PR was below par compared to the previous 2 years. I would prefer they use him primarily as a returner and lets see what Dickerson can do as a 3rd WR.
