That is what I have been hearing and reading all day, that it was a 2 year deal worth roughly 7-7.5 mil with a 3rd year option....
That was why I asked where the 16 mil for 3 years was coming from...

Because the they "agreed to terms" and didn't sign a contract yet. Once they get a deal signed and sent to the NFL office, someone will leak a copy and we'll find out how much it is and how much is guaranteed.
I'm crossing my fingers that it's a 3 year deal worth 3m, 3m, 10m...
Jason LaCanfora reported the 3 year 16m numbers. He's usually pretty good about getting that stuff right, but not perfect. I'm hoping the 2 year 7.5m report is correct, because that would be a great deal for us.

Hell now I am reading 2yrs $12 mil ...if this is true, ouch...
$6M per is what I thought it would come down, too.
I would hate for it have a higher price tag, but I'm willing to go with 6.
If he signs for cheaper; great.
if he signs for 6, I don't mind.
Sometimes, you've got to pay to play.
Hopefully, there's an incentive bonus in there.

I was expecting 2 years in the 10-12 million range. So if this is true, I've got no problem with it.
Someone said 2 years 7 mill total... if that's true then ... Rick Smith deserves an award of some sort.
HOU-TEX
Ah, Football!
I think the 7 million number is what might be guaranteed. At least that's what I gathered from yesterday.
I don't think the 3 year 16 mill deal that's being thrown around is that bad either. The odds of him seeing that 3rd year is prob slim to none. The only numbers that really matter to me are the cap numbers anyway.

Crap. Sounds like nobody knows for sure and we ain't heard a peep out of the Texans or chirp (a "twit"?) out of Reed.
Craig Roberts (92.1 FM) just said (as of 1:15 pm, 3/21/13) that Reed has not actually signed anything yet.

I'm guessing the full value if the deal is laden with incentives.
Play > 12 games = $$$$
Win the superbowl = $$$$
Make the probowl = $$$$$
Lead the league in INTS = $$$$

The Texans don't say anything until the ink hits the paper.
I think everyone knows he hasn't signed anything. They've only "agreed with the terms" of a deal. Working on the verbiage of the deal

There's also a chance that he backs out and signs somewhere else, like Baltimore...
It's rare that a player would do that, but it has happened before.

agreed with Chicago on one year deal but the Texans lured him away with a 2 year deal.

Got a link for that. I don't remember there ever being an agreement in place with the Bears. They offered their deal, we offered ours and he chose us
Doppelganger

That was my thought as well. I was under the impression that Chicago offered a 1 yr deal whereas Htown offered him a 2 year deal because they really wanted him. If memory serves, didn't the team also sign Jeremiah Johnson that year as an UDFA as well?

Don't like the guy...but DO respect him as an athlete. Welcome aboard "Broke jaw". Looks like Flacco's over rated (and now over paid) ass getting that disproportionate contract will be to our advantage. I hope the referees don't start treating him differently because he's a Texan now.

Yes. I really thought Jeremiah was going to be a good player for us, too.
If it makes you feel better, they copied it on the Ravens board & they had a good chuckle too.

He played some for the Broncos in 2011 and was signed to a reserve/future contract recently. I guess he's still a bubble player .

Probably for the same reason they assume Ray Lewis ISN'T AT LEAST an accessory to murder, Flacco is anything but a lucky a-hole who'll never get another Stupor Bowl ring as a starting QB OR that Judas Jones is worth the RIDICULOUS contract they just gave him. If they think that Jones is worth more to their team than Ed Reed then they're TRULY as stupid as I thought them to be.
HOU-TEX
Ah, Football!
Yeah, I remember he came in with a bum shoulder that had to be repaired. He came back the following year and didn't do much. I think he's still in the league though. Broncos, maybe?
Dexter Jackson backed out of a deal with the Steelers to sign with the Cards a few years ago.

Haha, that's golden. I just couldn't make the connection that Reed --> Ed Reed. It's going to be weird seeing him in a Texans unifrom.
