It is partly my bad. One poster made a comment about the UFL and rather than ask that they go to the UFL board to further the conversation I responded in kind. Please move these UFL comments to the UFL board?

It's all good intentions. Sometimes we get into it and stray to something else.

I wish Spotrac would catch up with all these moves
. Hunter went from $19.5 [ including half a mil roster bonus] this season to 32m. 55.1 m new money. 55- 19= ~ $36 m gtd next year. Another move by Nick that I did not expect.No one can say that the mcnairs are cheap.
I like the fact that the signing bonuses are up front and there's a lot of guaranteed money.I wish Spotrac would catch up with all these moves

Dude has three SB rings for almost zero production. If he gets one with Texans, he should go in the Hall of Fame.
I wish Caserio would've combined Watson/Berrios money and gotten Robinson, or even better put an extra 5 mil with that money and signed Cooper.

His 2021 knee injury was reported as a "quad injury." It was in fact a patellar tendon rupture that kept him out the entire season.

If you want to play for the Texans, just ensure you have an extensive injury history. You'll be welcome here in Houston, Land of the Ambulances.
The funny part is that seems to be a tradition since 2002.
However - is it really possible to only acquire players with no injury history?
Competition is the name of the game!

Nah, Caserio just made the base and some options into bonus then spread over '25 and some void years.

I’m not discussing his deal just posting his transition from the Texans. And I’ve always posted this information right here.
Consider posting the info elsewhere when the player is no longer a Texan.

Not a huge loss, but it creates another draft need.

And shouldn’t you consider talking about draft picks on the the NFL draft page? Since we’re nitpicking

It’s been awhile since i’ve seen a player on this team take a pay cut to keep their roster spot. Guess that just shows how deep the DL is…
Rankins and Autry at same pay. In a positive scenario both account for around 600 snaps with a starter-level work load. 50-60% of snaps.
Rankins at DT and Autry at both DE/DT.
Both coming off disappointing seasons (injury, suspension related) that caused them to have to take lower contracts this season.
Always looks like a shell game to me. "Looks" like a paycut, but at the end of the day he's getting the same money.
What i don't get are the void years. Does that mean he will absolutely not be on the team when those void years come up? No chance of "renegotiating" them?
No, those years can be re-worked into a contract. The cap hit is still there, but it can be maneuvered. That's what I thought would happen with Diggs.
They don't usually take pay cuts. It's usually salary converted to signing bonuses that can be spread out over the lifetime of the contract. He got more guaranteed money.

Wasn't 2024 his first season in a bit that he was healthy for at least 15 starts?
Speed has played in 31 of a possible 34 games over the past 2 seasons.

I was about to post the same.......................he is one of the League leaders in missed tackles.................... He has actually had 45 missed tackles over the last two years [Most missed tackles in the NFL since 2023], including being second in the NFL with 26 this past season.
Also worrisome last season was his 103.6 passer rating allowed [allowed 49 catches on 62 targets for 454 yards and one score].

I think he’s a very similar player to Zach Cunningham although i’d say Speed is better in coverage than Cunningham was… by no means elite in coverage but Cunningham was consistently bad at that throughout his career.
The missed tackles I think are partially because he’s got such good length and he is instinctive so gets to the ball quickly. He gets in tackling position when some players wouldn’t even be able to be in a position to make the play (like Cunningham).
Can he improve? Absolutely. And I think this is as good a spot as any to do so with two of the best LB coaches in the league in Bill Davis and DeMeco Ryans. To’o To’o made significant improvement in this area last season for example.
Speed was much better in coverage in 2023. I hope the 2024 numbers were more a product of the entire Colts defense taking a step back and he’ll improve with a much better supporting cast in Houston.
A guy can make a career with Kenyon Green whiffing on blocks. I've never been so wrong on a prospect before. Neither has Nick Caserio.

Is 1 missed tackle per game really that bad for someone who gets as many opportunities as he does?
His missed tackle percentage last year was 10.7%, 130th highest. The year before, 12.1%, 95th highest. Compare that to Pitre who had a 17.1% missed tackle rate last year, which was 15th highest
