I'm surprised he lasted here as long as he did. He has the makings of a serviceable OT in a league hungry for them. It was not realistic to think we could keep him long term.

LOL! Look at that ****!
I'm not going to put any words in McNair's mouth, so let's just analyze HIS words OK?
“I (1) think we’re going to be very aggressive. We have (2) to try to determine (3) how we can get the most value for the money that we spend… (4) It’s very fluid, (but) we’re going to get (5) some quality players.”
1.) He "thinks" they're going to be very aggressive. "Think" is awesome, eh?
2.) He says they have "to try." Kubiak would have said we're gonna' "battle," because battlin' sounds like a guy's word and "try" sounds like "trying out for the glee club," I suppose. Same damn thing.
3.) Ah, yes. How can we get the most value for the money we spend. Sorry, kids, I wanted to take you Disney Land buuutttttt your mom and I felt we could stay RIGHT HERE in Yazoo City and spend that money more wisely by using a patented long-term strategy of allocating that same money over a period of maybe 10 years...bowling alley, the movies, you name it!
4.) When he says "it's very fluid...," I wonder if he means there will be fluid poured onto our heads while we hear that it's "raining outside," or if by "it's very fluid...," he means that river is going to be so wild that the Texans choose to wait until other rafters go downstream and test the waters ahead of us??? Hmmm.....maybe a bit of both?
5.) "Some quality players." Sigh. The most troublesome aspect yet.
Watching those comments in slow-motion, it makes me feel less excited about free agency.
I think we have to take the castoffs from other teams (those who shed THEIR dead weight, so they can get the top-tier secondary players). What I think I hear McNair saying is that he's going to let Rick and Wade watch what players are releases and we're going to swoop in and grab them at clearance prices.
We've got lots of bowling and $1 movie shows in store for us. Because that free agency river is going to be the most "fluid" its ever been. Ever. Prepare your umbrellas. I warned you.

Hey everybody!
I just got this tweet from Bob McNair himself!
Here's your beer, everyone:
LMAO! Man, this is the one time I wish I could give myself some rep. I mean, I already self-fulfill other areas of my life....so why not? Wonder if anybody will read past the Pissweiser pic. God I hope not. Now that I think about it, this post is in "bad taste." LOL! ROFLMAO! More rep! :crazed:

you're the worst.
In all comedy, there is an element of truth that makes it funny to begin with.
So to all of you, I say: "You're welcome. This beer's on me." Literally.

OLB Manny Lawson will be a UFA
Hasn't been great in the Pros, but maybe he will come on strong next to old college buddy Mario.
Seems like a good depth signing to me.

Sweet! If Bob puts that in the bank by this time next year he will have...wait for it... $4.51!

And with the Texans luck, that 6th rounder they traded will turn out to be an All-Pro and a first ballot hall of famer. :kubepalm:

I think the last 6th round pick was for center Chris Myers who has started every game for what three years?

A self-backpat? You can't be that excited over a measley Rep. Your happy the lockout is over aren't you?

Just read the Ravens cut McGahee, Heap, Mason and another player. Some speculating it is to open room for run at Aso.

Phillips has said he is pleased with the guys on roster for NT so why spend money on another?

If it's just money I'm not sure anybody can offer as much, as quickly as Tampa Bay.

Because we didn't know Kelly was going to be cut. He won't demand a huge contract and can hold the spot down for the next couple years while we find our space eater.

Somebody tie up Kubiak and gag him. A really good TE is on the market.

That would be Rick Smith you need to horse collar.

But does Kelly solve that need at DT that we also haven't fixed yet?
If this was answered already I apologize.
I know we can talk to FA's tomorrow but its not official until Friday or Saturday, but can teams announce they have signed someone?
Kust hoping that tomoorrow at Noon Pacific Time I'm doing cartwheels because Rick gotter dun!!!!
Man I miss that guy the Chron had back when we were "trying" to sign Michael Turner. I was checking his blog every 3 minutes for 24 hours. Was so sad that he passed away.

A deal can be reached but not signed until Friday according to Schefter.

Speculation that Rex Ryan might want him in NY. Says Gregg was a Rex Ryan favorite when Rex was with the Ravens.

I'm guessing him and his agent are taking calls right now (hope the Texans are one of them) and probably by Wednesday he has an agreement with someone.

Isn't it normal for the top FA to have a deal day 1? I remember Hayneworth signed basically at midnight of FA period.

My thoughts exactly. I think they're better served getting franklin for 7m, joseph or marshall for 7m, and weddle for 5 vs nmandi for 20m
I like how you think. Unfortunately it's most likely a fantasy but it sure is a nice one.

Frankly, I like our chances of making ONE big splash than hitting on three separate nice pieces, even if breaking it up and spending it on three guys might help us more.
You have to make sure a helluva lot of things go right to get three pieces like that.

I'm really thinking the Joseph re-signs with the Bengals which would take him off the market. I would have loved to get quality signing likes him + weddle, but it's easier to do in Madden... harder to do in real life: convince 2 stud pro bowl players to come play for you.
I still think we have a decent shot at Asomugha and I don't think he's going to command $20MM a year, it should be less (I'm thinking $15-17MM range. I'll bet the percentage of his contract that is guaranteed though will be one of the highest in the league.

I think anybody that has a chance to get out of Cincy while they can, they will. The only way Cincy re-signs him is if they overpay, JMO.

I saw this last night and I was thinking that Mason could be a good replacement for JJ. I seem to recall that he has pretty good hands.
Any thoughts on that?

He's 37 years old. Last year was his worst year since 1999.
I don't see him as a replacement for anyone.
