Where did you hear this?

I searched for information and no one has it listed yet. I hope you are not starting a terrible rumor right now...

Some people around here know people. I've gathered that Runner is one of them.

A press release just hasn't come out yet. I remember we found out the same way about Robaire Smith getting released. I imagine we'll see a press release this afternoon.

Ditto. He's well-sourced. Possible he's wrong but especially in light of Bennie's non-performance there's no reason to disagreee with him.

With the ability of Owen Daniels I wouldn't be suprised to see a couple more TE's released, LOL.... I am not arguing the source nor doubting it, I just wondered is all...
 
As far as who will take his place, its going to be one of our injured players on the PUP since the is the 1st week they can come off the PUP, since this is the 1st week they can come off the PUP. Kali Wong, J. Mathis or Demarcus Faggins. Just calling my shot. No inside info or link.
 
Awww man. I was hoping Bennie would succeed after all he's been through. After not seeing him on the field much during the season though, I had a feeling this would come sooner or later. Especially with the emergence of Owen Daniels.

FWIW my own sources confirmed this about 15 minutes ago.

Good call Runner.

Sucks that it didn't work out for Bennie. Like Seth Wand, he's a hard worker and you want to root for the kid.
 
My source has confirmed this, too. Out with the old, in with the new regime. Too bad, too. I liked Joppru as a long snapper/TE/FB...
 
Can anyone remember the name of that wide receiver that was cut by the Oilers, then got picked up by the Seahawks and became an All Pro for many many years?

Bennie's release today brings that back to me.

Edited: I remember now. Steve Largent.
 
I think we are making room for Dwayne Careswell. Or Another Lineman, Winstons not ready and Ephriam is still hurt.
 
My sources have confirmed that they are not sources. :)

That's a shame about Bennie, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll pick up Robert McCune.
 
My sources confirm that this sucks for all of us out here that were pulling for him. Hope he lands somewhere and has a good career. If not, he's probably got enough money to play golf for the next 5 years or so.

heh...just our luck.

Good luck to BJ, though. He's had a tough road, and it would be great to see him land on his feet somewhere else.
 
Smith is probably negoiating with another has been to replace BJ. Some people were talking about Van Pelt as having been here. Guess Kubiak wants him to replace Sage. May be he knows Carr is going to be hurt this week due to O-line failures. Sorry, but I'm getting very cynical in a hurry. I guess we will have to wait to see what the tooth fairy brings.
 
Now heres a depressing fact:
BJ was only an active member of the Texans organization while injured. The second he healed up, we sent him packing!
 
Ironically it was a Casserly pick (Owen Daniels) that did in Joppru. I wish him the best of luck. He seems due for some.

I don't think the player to be named will be a TE because Houston already has Putzier, Breuner, and Daniels in the lineup. My guess is that it also won't be anything the Texans NEED, like a lineman. Kubes is really rotating out backs, so I'm guessing we get another RB/FB or something. Makes as much sense as anything else...
 
yeah, last night i was thinkin what ever happened to him, cause i havent seen him on the field to much, hopefully we get him to the pratice squad, but best of luck bennie

If anything I see them making room on the roster for some of the guys to move off of the PUP list... Like Mathis

I dunno but on the 2:20 PM 610 Sportsflash they said that he was picked up and they had a short blurb with him discussing how he was cut from Green Bay ...

they just repeated it at 2:40 .... also said they want Joppru to clear waivers and land on the Practice Squad .... Kubiak says it's a numbers thing .... Joppru isn't a special teams player ....
 
I guess Jop's cut is public knowledge now. I wanted to say one thing about this thread.

I normally wouldn't have posted something like this before it became public. However, I was as much as called a liar because I posted something a few days ago without saying how I knew it. At the time I indicated it wasn't that I couldn't identify a source, it was because I wouldn't. I thought I'd post this roster move before it became public to make my point.

The conclusions I draw from the things we talk about here are as likely to be wrong as anyone else's. However, I don't make up lies to support my position or to generate discussion.

Thank you to those who gave me the benefit of the doubt.
