Agree not to Franchise tag him, then Transition tag his ass.
Dunta Robinson
We’re not selfish guys.
Can you trade a player with a franchise tag? And who would trade to pay the kind of money the Texans don't want to play? Robinson wants the kind money he would have gotten if wasn't injured and he may deserve it, but has hasn't proven it yet. His agent really screwed him up and overplayed his hand. I think Robinson has a great comeback season this year and the Texans show him the money, but he needs to prove that he's still worth that kind of cash.
I like Dunta, but even with the Carr situation, you could see Dunta wasn't very diplomatic or concerned about being a team player.
That said, I hope they work things out and he can be here when the Texans get to the playoff team tier in the NFL.

I am glad someone else said that, he threw Carr under the bus after he had a whopping 2 picks in 2006 coming aftera 1 pick 2005. I know Carr wasnt great but at least after he stunk it up he shut his mouth.
This is exactly who he is and was I can't believe some of you are shocked. I have cracked on him over the years as being overrated and gotten hammered for it, but oh well, everything comes to light in time.
Hey Dunta, why don't you try accomplishing something before you demand something. Your numbers dictate you are an average corner, yet you want top 3 money, great example of a team leader.
I see a lot of anger in this thread aimed at Dunta and I think it is almost all misplaced. You guys have your feelings hurt over this because you like Dunta and he's basically heading for the door.
Dunta Robinson wants to leave Houston. That's as clear to me as the light of day. He has turned down a generous offer. He has made an issue of being franchised and turned the process into a "They lied to me" accusation. He's now saying that he won't take 9 MILLION DOLLARS to suit up for the Texans unless they promise not to franchise him again.
There's really no other logical explanation for this. Dunta wants out of here and he's willing to say whatever he has to say or do whatever he has to do to get that result. He's playing his own little Jay Cutler game to get out of town and that is entirely understandable in the NFL. Lots of guys do it and I don't want any of them on my team either. I thought Dunta was indispensable to the Texans going into 2009 but have come to the conclusion that no matter how much I like the guy and his game he's not going to be worth the kind of money it would take to get him to stay here and be "Dunta Robinson" for us next year.
I'm ok with sending him on his way at this point. The Texans will likely not blink and really shouldn't but by the time Dunta reports to the team whether it's in training camp or sometime in the regular season they should be preparing for life without him and looking at potential partners in a sign-and-trade deal if they can find one.
We should all hope that Bennett gets his groove back this year and that Molden can be the guy we hope he can be. Reeves can hold down one of those spots for a while but we're going to be replacing Dunta shortly and it will be the right thing to do.
Why do you think the anger is misplaced? Your posting above is the perfect argument for being po'd at him...

Man, I'm pretty fvcking upset with Dunta. He was my favorite Texan up until recently. I understand the business side of this situation. Hell, we all do. But for Dunta to act the way he's acting right now, to hell with him. The team offered him a more than fair deal. He and his agent turned it down. Repeat, the Texans offered him $23 million in guaranteed money for 2 Ints last year and He and his agent turned it down. Now, he wants to tell the team the way it's going to be? He's on TV talking about not playing in some regular season games next season. And why, because he wants to get paid what he's feels like he's worth, and nearly $10 million in this economy just isn't good enough. $23 million guaranteed dollars in this economy just isn't good enough. What an asshole! Way to alienate the hardcore, hard-working fans of this city you moron. I don't usually berade any player for getting as much money as they can, but Dunta is freaking ridiculous. He's not Asomugha. He's not Champ. No team in the NFL will pay him like he's one of those players either (well, except for Daniel Snyder). But he's thrown this huge *****-fit like the Texans are just a horrible organization and bad business people. Bullspit Dunta!
I truly believe that if he had already signed the franchise tag contract, the Texans would have traded him today. And I for one would have been all for it. Fvck you Dunta!
Because this is professional football and if Dunta is being a complete jerk then he's in the right place to do it. Perhaps "misplaced" isn't the word I was looking for. I'm trying to say that we should have all seen this coming and that nobody should get mad about it because this happens all the time in the NFL and will happen at regular intervals for as long as we have a team in the league.
First, everyone chill out on the cute misspellings. If you you can't communicate your thoughts and feelings without resorting to profanity in a public forum, you're a lousy communicator.I truly believe that if he had already signed the franchise tag contract, the Texans would have traded him today.

Dunta needs to stop acting like he's some ELITE CB or a guy that suited up for the last two years as a Pro Bowler. He's been hurt a lot and needs to improve in coverage as well. Hopefully we can get these issues resolved and move forward where he is playing his ass off this season for a big contract next year.
Does anyone remember how acrimonious the contract negotiations were between Da Bears and tagged OLB Lance Briggs? Guess what? Briggs eventually re-signed mid-season and is still with the team. Typical contract stuff in the NFL. I realize our franchise is young compared to the rest of the league. But, I would expect a more sophistacated and knowledgable response from football fans here in Houston. It's not as if we just fell off the pro football turnip truck.

Second, if there was a team willing to give Robinson the contract he wants, the Texans would have been able to sign and trade Dunta. Signing the franchise contract is meaningless, at this point.
