Because we haven't signed anyone in the first 52 MINUTES?

C'mon now.

I have no faith in Rick Smith whatsoever. Until he is fired or reassigned, I hope he gets marginalized as much as possible by the new coach. Texian succinctly states the case against this guy. Our hands are tied and we can't address needs adequately because of his mismanagement.

Also do not forget the #Texans have priority in the waiver wire until the start of the season. Can easily find depth parts there too.

This is probably old news by now, I just found out Dallas released Damarcus Ware.
 
Lots of signings going on, and it looks as though we are out Ninja, Mitchell, OD and probably more. I know that most teams that go out and spend big $$$$ in FA usually don't do well, but I have zero faith in Rick Smith who should have already done a lot of homework and hopefully start finding some good players. It is not going to be possible to fill all our needs solely in the draft.
 
some huge contracts being handed out to some players who dont equate to that value.
FO is waiting for the 2nd round of FA to get good players at good values.

havnt heard any news on DRC, wonder if he could be had for something cheaper??
 
I probably misheard him, but I thought I heard Ian Rapaport list the Texans among the teams interested in Decker. Did a quick google and didn't see anything supporting this, so take it for what it's worth.

He said it. Could be just agent talk.

This is part of Rick's new strategy. Since he discovered this thing called compensatory picks, he's decided that's the best way to acquire more picks without screwing everything up. Besides, he's only losing old people. :pissed:

It appears the Raiders will not be keeping two guys who would be huge at Texans' holes - LT Veldheer who they think would be better at RT and 6'3" 300 lb run stuffing DE Lamarr Houston. Worth exploring the price on both of them.

I like the sound of that. If I could have only one, Houston would be my *pots-n-pans*.

(did I do that right?) :D

Rick's putting a lot of pressure on Schaub to renegotiate.

Worst deal of the day! MT @AdamSchefter: Denver has reached agreement on a 6-year, $57M - $26M gtd with former Patriots CB Aqib Talib

I'm lmao at this deal. Talib has never played a 16 game season..........he has missed 25 games in 3 years.

Denver/Philly/SF/Sea/Indy/K.C. etc.... you know the teams that were in the playoffs last yr, dont appear to be having these issues.

Looks like the dog must have eaten Slick Rick's homework. Oh well there's always the draft, that's Slick's strength.
 
I haven't seen it, but maybe I missed it. Why is there no interest from the fans in an ILB like Daryl Smith?
 
Tom Pelissero ‏@TomPelissero 9m

Earl Mitchell gets $5M in first year from #Dolphins, plus $3M gtd one way or another in 2015 (either base or roster bonus). 4 years, $19M.

Welp, both of 2013's NTs are gone with no replacements. Man, we're going to have a boatload of holes to fill. By the way FA looks, it will be with rookies and JAGs.
 
Rick Smith needs to be fired immediately. This crappy team is getting worse and he is not lifting a finger to get us better. Does this idiot think we have 20 draft picks this year?

How the hell are we going to fill these holes. Are we going to have half our team be UDFA making the minimum?

Any good O Tackles left in FA anyone would like?

Are Breno G and Anthony Collins as good as signed?

I'm all about Zach Strief. Anyone think we can land that dude for a few years?

Then there is still Michael Oher, Eric Winston or maybe even Tyson Clabo. Definitely prefer Strief though.
 
Wondering if Ziggy Hood would be an affordable Antonio replacement. Thought about Tyson Jackson, but he is already gone.

Terrance Cody's big fat ass will hopefully come to town.

I can guess that BJ Raji ain't in the Texans price range

The teams that do "door buster shopping" in free agency nearly always pay too damned much. Unless there's someone we just HAVE to HAVE in free agency it's better to wait until that first wave of panic buyers subsides and then get who's left at a much more reasonable price.

Remember by not panic buying, we got J-Jo and D. Manning for what Asomugha would have cost us.

seems like I get to use this every year
:D
 
My theory: McClain is a mouthpiece for the Texans FO right now. Drive up Schaubs value and get someone (Browns, Jets, raiders) to trade for him. Moment that happens there will be at least 2-3 quick signings

We're in day 2 of free agency. Relax.

How the hell am I supposed to relax when we have Rick Smith as our GM. What has he done the past couple seasons to give you any reasonable hope that he knows what he is doing?

We had GLARING HOLES this past season. We have steadily LOST TALENT since 2011. Other than 2011, when have the Texans ever made good moves during free agency? We are always a step behind and too slow. The Texans are truly an infuriating franchise to root for. Thank God for the Rockets.

Ever heard the saying that day 1 of NFL free agency is the dumbest day of the year?
