NFL.com saying Texans signed Vernon Hargreaves
- Thread starter macho grande
- Start date
He was never gonna be kept at $9M. Picking him up only precluded us from ever having him in 2020

Good riddance. I want corners that aren't afraid to tackle.

Hargreaves could settle on a 1 year veterans minimum contract with bonuses. It would work as a 1 year prove-it kind of contract. I don't think he's going to get any offer that's better than a 1 year prove-it deal if he wants to stay in the NFL. He could always go to the XFL and try and rebuild his CFB reputation.
Texans bring back Vernon Hargreaves
The Texans released cornerback Vernon Hargreaves last month rather than wait for the fifth-year of his rookie deal to kick in, but that didn't spell the end of their relationship with the 2016 first-round pick.

This BOB GM clown show just keeps getting more hysterical.
We’re about to witness a 51-7 version of the GM next season with the moves he’s making.Texans bring back Vernon Hargreaves

SMH...I hope this is for less than $2M
Championship.
No, not the Texans. Just that some team will win a championship.
Yes, that will make the blown coverages sting less.
maybe this will be the year DVOA shows up in the standings.
Or maybe DVOA isn't all the nerds make it out to be?
According to this thread, the knock on Hargreaves was effort.
IMO, the little fella plaid with effort all year long. I’d like to see him next season with another coaching staff. If the guys who make the 52 are better than him, that’s pretty good IMO.

The bolded just gave me a horrible O'Brien flashback. "Plays hard, practices hard, tough, dependable..."

He may play with effort, but there's nothing he does well. Crossen can't cover, but at least he can tackle. I'd be ok with keeping him as a cheap 4th corner, nothing more.

You're pushing buttons...
4th corner
Maybe 5th corner
Sign a vet CB in FA and draft a slot.
Roby/FA/
Outside CB with Roby in the slot, or drafted slot/ Then Maybe/Hargreaves and Crossen due to Crossen's ST's value.

Have you given up on your boy Conley?
Doc said his ankle surgery (Which was supposed to be a minor taking screws out of his ankle surgery) went wrong and got infected. It looks like his career might be over. I truly feel for the young man. He had talent to play CB in the NFL. He was not a star level CB but a starting level CB in the NFL. IMHO

I agree. He was solid, but nothing more. Sound like you have given up on him. Sucks.
Hopefully CnD got this one wrong. But missing an entire season having screws removed doesn't look promising.

Which isn’t hard to do considering the season we just witnessed. And the ending to it. I don’t think many Texans fans are in the mood to hear/read anything close to an endorsement for any player on this horrible defense.

If Alex Smith can have 17 surgeries and almost die, Conley can find a way to bounce back.
Although I am not as high on him as you are/were. I would rather cut all the DB's (keep Reid) and start over.

Welp. Just chalk it up as another horrible move by BOB. Nothing to see here...

I like Roby, and willing to give LJ another shot. This coaching staff has proven they don't know how to develop players. Unfortunately we are stuck with Murray for another year.
That move wasn't a horrible move. A solid CB for a 3rd rd pick in the middle of the season when all of your CB's are hurt is actually a decent move. Unlucky is what I would call the move.

Fair point. But at the end of the day, it was the wrong move. Just like the Tunsil trade. It sort of made sense, but at the end of the day, it didn't work out.
It was only the wrong move because he got hurt. If that's the standard then no trades would ever be made for fear of the guy you traded for might get hurt.
I’m just saying bring him into camp. If we can’t find four guys better than Hargreaves, eh...
I believe the idea was he just didn’t fit the Buccaneers defensive philosophy & there was an effort issue.
I’m not seeing an effort issue so I’m thinking the defensive philosophy thing led to the effort issue.
I know we have a coaching issue.
I’d like to see what the new coaching staff can do with him. We’re low on capital, so he’ll probably battling journeymen & udfas

I don't think there's going to be as much turnover as we think. I mean, there will be some, but the new regime is going to have to come in here and evaluate, figure out if these guys can actually be coached up, or if they truly are less talented. I don't think that gets done in 1 off-season, especially if off-season workouts are anything like last off-season. Not to mention the limited resources they have to make wholesale changes. I think a lot of this roster could still be intact for 2021 with the season being used to evaluate. Then we go into 2022 with a full slate of draft picks, and go from there.

He’s an unrestricted free agent. If nobody signs him before TC, sure, bring him in to compete. But I’m completely opposed to resigning unless it’s for vet minimum. And I’d only want to see him if they were in a crunch for secondary bodies. I’d rather a 7th round rookie get experience in 2021 than more of Hargreaves.
