The Tunsil talks must not be going well
Tunsil is under contract in 2020, then we can franchise. We are trying to do him a solid and lock him down. As others say, top paid guys may wait for the CBAIt'd be a serious kick in the nads if Tunsil took more money somewhere else.
or our GM may be trying to bring in another pro bowl offensive lineman that would definitely help #4 and our running game. If we could trade a player we don't need/want for him that would be fantastic. I posted somewhere that talking head on radio said he could be had for a third round..just for a discussion point.The Tunsil talks must not be going well
Which could very well be accomplished in a matter of days now.If I were Tunsil, there would be no talks prior to the new CBA being ratified
Yup. Solid report, and have been reading similar reports elsewhere as well: "The Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson reports it's unlikely that the Texans re-sign free agent DT D.J. Reader. Reader could command upwards of $9-13 million annually."

Stills and a high 4th for a 2nd.
I think BOB was more of a desperation value, than a true market value.
As my avatar suggests DJ Reader is my favourite Texan, in saying that, knowing we need to pay Tunsil and Watson, letting Reader walks 'makes sense'.
Having a franchise QB not on a rookie contract massively impacts your cap and a franchise LT isn't far behind. Just feel lucky we don't have a premier pass-rushers and corners to pay too
McCarron's skillset is closer to what BOB really wants his offense to look like.
I would love for them to sign Judon, I would pay big $$$$ for him. The Ravens are going to do what it takes to bring him back.
The edge most likely to be available is Quinn. What do you think about adding Quinn? He was very productive last yr.
that’s the bad part of letting your HC play GM when his back is against the wall. He will overpay without any regard to your future if it buys him cushion. Even Tunsil, great player, I was ecstatic when the deal was announced, but TWO firsts AND a second when this was a deep tackle class? No thanks. Do you think if we didn’t have Tunsil we would be a playoff team? I guarantee if we didn’t make that Tunsil trade we fall short of where we were this season and OB is gone. Had we stayed pat, we could’ve gotten Andrew Thomas, Jedrick Willis, Wirfs, etc. you could’ve gotten your LT and still had a plethora of picks to upgrade the secondary and add another couple offensive weapons, AND have a lot more cap space to play with in free agency.
I saw we checked in on Trent Williams, I don’t know what his trade value is, but if we could trade Tunsil for him and get a first back in the deal, even if it’s next year, I’d do it
The sad part is we paid mercilus as a premier pass rusher when he really isn’t. Same with nick Martin. Another bad reason to let HC play GM. He overpays his guys he likes, even if they’re not the best
You just laid out the key statement people should sit up and take notice.

Au contraire I am hoping we do have at least one cornerback in Byron Jones and maybe not a premier but a very good olb in Vic Beasley to pay.As my avatar suggests DJ Reader is my favourite Texan, in saying that, knowing we need to pay Tunsil and Watson, letting Reader walks 'makes sense'.

True with everything you said however we might not have DeShaun Watson going forward without Tunsil keeping him on his feet.that’s the bad part of letting your HC play GM when his back is against the wall.

And this could impact Texans players going forward such as Tunsil who could have two contracts in his future.Agreed about this.
BOB overpaid for slightly above avg talent.
Looks like Mercilus is going to be a Texans for life.
Conley a trade with Raiders costing a third and Lonnie Johnson 2.54 are only significant ones. If Weaver thinks LJ can play outside or lock down slot (where I want him) team could pass on a prime corner in free agency and look solely at drafting one.Does anyone know how many CBs (names) on the roster are currently under contract?

those are good Mocks and I would be okay with either however if we can get Byron Jones I'm not going cornerback until probably around 4. I am not going to let Kelsey dictate whether Lonnie Johnson can play. I would let tashaun gipson handle him that's what we signed him for.I wish they would sign the top FA corner and draft 2 more CB's including a good slot CB. I've got very little faith in LJ after watching him get worked by Kelce.
How would you feel about a draft like this to fix the secondary,
Rd. 2 Arnette
Rd.3 Chinn (I just found out he's Steve Atwater's nephew)
Rd.4 Robertson
Rd.4 Willie Gay Jr
Rd.4 Duvernay
This is a realistic mock IMHO
Or if you want to add much needed speed
Rd.2 Dugger
Rd.3 Reggie Robinson CB Tulsa
Rd.4 Amik Robertson CB La Tech
Rd.4 Willie Gay Jr.

Reports say Texans reached a 4 year deal with Fairbairn
Fells signed extension as well.
Letting Reader walk will open up another need to address. But that’s the likely scenario.As my avatar suggests DJ Reader is my favourite Texan, in saying that, knowing we need to pay Tunsil and Watson, letting Reader walks 'makes sense'.

With Darren Fells resigning & Warring on deck, i think that spells the end for 1 of Thomas or Akins.........I'm thinking Akins.
Maybe not ! When asked by the press, why he drafted Aikens so early - when he was rated so low, (or not a all), O'Brien said I don't know, I just sensed something special about him ! He's just a prospect-rating machine .... and I, for one, don't think he gets proper credit for it ! Who's with me ????
Our bookends are set. Tunsil will sign when the time comes. Williams will not switch to another OL position, including RT...........and he will be looking for a "pay day." Put Williams to Texans to sleep..............it began with an article by the Athletic............a rumor entirely concocted out of thin air, a pattern beginning to develop from this source...............I have read numerous sources saying Trent Williams has been linked to us, also the Cardinals and Jets.

How do you feel about our right guard situation?
Mediocre at best in the passing game, sux in the run game
But Clark did him no favors
Even with a healthy Howard, I don't think he will be an asset.
Yep, sure can’t think about getting rid of Warring. He’s their water polo specialist... you know, in case the Texans face a water polo team in the playoffs.Lol, Akins certainly has the athleticism that could make him a dominant pass catching TE, but he hasn't been able to put it together & he's especially terrible as a blocker easily the worst of the 2 we've seen & we don't know how Warring's gonna look.
Having said that was then, this is now & I can't see us packing 4 TE's.
The #Texans and CB Johnathan Joseph have mutually agreed that he will enter free agency.

We'll be looking for a new one. Meanwhile, Fulton would be better utilized at C. I don't really feel great about Martin at that position to begin with, but he was given a recent extension. Fortunately, the way Martin's 3-year contract was structured, if he does not perform well this year, he will be able to be released in 2021 with little concern.How do you feel about our right guard situation?
Texans are interested in bringing back linebackers Tyrell Adams, Dylan Cole and Barkevious Mingo, according to sources

Texans aren't expected to re-sign safety Jahleel Addae, according to league sources

Personally I don’t think we need to waste a contract on Hyde. Duke plus draft pick(s) and maybe a cheap veteran signing for insurance is all we need.I'd like to see the Texans get Hyde signed. He did a pretty solid job running behind his OL and with OB calling the plays.
Kelly will call the plays this year, Howard will be back at RT, Tunsil, Scharping and Howard will be entering their 2nd seasons with the Texans, and hopefully the Texans find a RG in the draft......preferrably RG, Bredeson out of Michigan. He's a plug and play today RG who was educated in a pro-style offense ran by Harbaugh. Maybe a pairing of Scharping and Bredeson at the G positions would help cover for the weakest link, Martin.
Just give me a better OL and better game planner.......and I think Hyde and Johnson could be pretty special in the running game.
