Todd Wade- Easy Boot!! One of our worst players

One of the D.line men! Someone big has to go. Smith/Payne/Babin >?

No, we'll have enough room on our Roster for great D-line depth.... if it comes to it, we'll just say Robaire Smith is our 3rd string FB :poker:
 
It's easier said than done to boot high salary underperformers or misfits because of cap hits. I'm guessing they won't be able to cut everyone that realistically has no future here.

Wade's toast. The problem is that friggin dead money. He and Walker will account for somewhere around 13 million dead on our cap over this year and next. Stupid then - even worse now.

Walker was worth every penny and more for laying into Jerry Jones in front of a camera. Kiddie WWF stuff... but ya know, we all have a Pan somewhere and they have to eat too.

I think we all can relax and just in enjoy the ride for a change :cool: no more of this :brickwall what was done is done all Kubiak can do now is clean house and bring in his type of player who fit his style of football. Players brought in specificly to fit the 3-4 and unathleitic linemen/anyone are all in danger of losing a roster spot, those names have already been well documented on this thread, that being said it would be sad to lose Babin. I think he could be a really fine strongside DE while Peek could spell the weakside DE position as Mario moves around the field causing havoc for offenses to account for :hunter:

I was just thinking of that the other day, it is a little more of a calm pre season this year, I think that is a good thing.

I have no problem with the initial Walker contract we assumed from Jax in '02. It was his extension in '04 and the 11 million signing bonus that was beyond stupid and will hurt us through '07.

:chicken: Well when it comes to dead money all we're missing is Matt Maloney .

If base salary was guaranteed in the NFL like it is in the NBA and MLB , we would be really screwed.
 
Someone was saying earlier that Matt Murphy may be gone. I think we saw the handwriting on the wall today for that to be a nonfactor.

Speaking in response to Mathis' return today, Kubes was really hammering the need for players to provide more than one skill to the team. He really stressed that Mathis must perform as a receiver as well as a returner in order to add value. It looked like a veiled threat to perform in both or be gone. I don't know if that is accurate but it seemed to be "written between the lines."

That said, I think Murphy's potential as a tackle makes him a keeper. He could play TE or tackle as needed. It looks like that consideration is going to carry alot of weight with Kubes.
 
If Wade and Wong are still injured, as the newspaper and many quotes on this bulletin board would seem to indicate, aren't we (The Texans) legally liable to keep them on the payroll until the have completed their rehabilitation?

Seems to me they will both end up on the Physically Unable to Perform List.

They can legally stay off the team until somewhere between week 6 and 9. At that point, if another linebacker or tackle gets hurt and put on the IR, they would be eligible to re-join the team as an active player - kind of like an insurance policy, if you will.

Or we have to negotiate a settlement payment with them in addition to their guaranteed money.

Supergenius did'nt you take Max Jean Gilles with the 14th pick in this years mock draft ? I believe Max was taken right behind Owen Daniels in the real draft .

I know I know, I'm crazy like that. But I really believe this kid is going to be a monster at the guard spot. I think I was picking for the Cardinals so I was following in line with the history of reaches. The mock draft was all whacked out and once Lienart, Young and Cutler were gone, my draft became wide open. The Cards did draft a guard in the second round however and got Lienart handed to them, something I didn't get in the mock draft. Anyhow, I believe that Giles is better than Luitui, but If I had to do it over again I'd probably pick a kicker.

And Vinny stop instigating, it's more like:
