Rumor: Texans seek trade for Williamson?

Grid said:
Getting Williamson would not help the problems with our offense.. and losing one of our first day picks would make it more difficult for us to address all of those problems. Additionally.. losing Davis would mean that if Bush DIDNT work out.. we have nothing at RB. On the other hand.. the Denver system doesnt necessarily require a superstar at RB to function..so it may not hurt us THAT much.

How is getting a RB to line up in the slot going to help our Offensive problems, but getting a real 2nd threat WideReciever not??

Eh.. it does make a difference. If you have a good RB to play the "thunder" part... he plays multiple rolls in the offense. He makes those short yardage runs where you just need to grab a couple of yards and the defense knows you are going to run it... he makes those short yardage runs into the endzone.. he wears down the defense.. so on and so forth.

When you have a speedy finesse back.. unless you are running a certain type of offense (like in Philly and Minnesota).. you need someone who can pound it in.

Like in Tampa... they still need Alstott to carry the rock in short yardage situations.

Wells may not be a perfect fit.. but I still think he could be a good compliment to Bush.

Thats who we need to pick up.
 
Who thinks that a combination of AJ, JMathis, Gaffney, Armstrong is one of this team's major weaknesses? Why on earth would be using first day picks on WRs, either via trade or in the draft?

OL, TE, LB, DL, CB, FS- in that order, wouldn't most agree, those are our major areas that need upgrading?

I'd question the order a little - we may need some DL line help pretty soon - but otherwise pretty accurate. Notice QB/RB/Receiver are not there. Trade Down!
 
I agree on the needs, but not on the order. OL, CB/FS, DE, LB, TE that is the order I would be thinking. I understand we have not seen anything from our TEs but drafting a TE before round 3 would be a wasted pick.

By creating matchup problemm depending who the defense has on the field on any specific play. Splitting the speedy Bush into the slot when a safety has to cover him would be an effective strategy with an aggressive offense.
 
John McClain just put an axe to this rumor.

A Chicago radio station asked him last week if the Texans would trade their 2nd round draft pick for Troy Williamson. For some odd reason, this has developed into a "trade rumor" that should never have started.

So if you guys were hoping for this trade, this isn't going to happen.
 
How about Williamson for DD straight up. We'll save some money in the process and clears the way to draft Reggie! Then resign Wells as his backup.

Carr
Bush/Wells/Morency
AJ/Williamson/Mathis

Not bad options there!

Considering Gaffney is FA, WR is in the top 5 of my needs. Mathis and Armstrong have show some flashes of potential but neither is a guy I want depend on as a starting WR next year w/o massive improvement.

This just in....Carr's accuracy from his back doesn't improve and Bush has no better chance of creating a hole than DD :brickwall

Yes, McClain was asked about this on 610Radio this morning and he said that it was just a question that someone from a Chicago station asked him, and that he had no idea how word of that got out and onto the message boards here and has spread into this trade rumor. The Texans have not inquired about such a trade, and I really doubt the Vikings would be interested in it anyways unless we're giving up a lot more than we should to get him, so it isn't happening.

Well, Williamson has shown more than flashes and could definitely be depended on? I'd say, to date, that Mathis has had a better NFL career and probably exhibited more potential as well...

So, again, what problem does the acquisition of Williamson solve?

Where did I say we should acquire Williamson? I replied to the notion that Texans don't need a WR. Texans need to sign a boring veteran WR. In away Gaffney falls into that category, but he is not guaranteed.
 
Before we talk about trading DD, we gotta make sure that Morency has learned not to trip over his own feet.
 
Mods, please kill this thread as it's been proven to be just a rumor. Please.....save the electrons.....we need them for more VY & RB threads.
 
The word RUMOR is in the title. If you dont want to hear about RUMORS then maybe you shouldnt click on any threads that say RUMOR.

THE NEWS
The Texans are reportedly working on a trade for Vikings wide receiver Troy Williamson, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Citing a report on a Dallas sports talk radio station, the Star Tribune indicated that the Texans remain high on Williamson's potential after considering drafting him last year.

Our View
Houston would love an option opposite Andre Johnson, as Jabbar Gaffney and Corey Bradford have done nothing to distinguish themselves in that role; however, neither did Williamson in his rookie campaign. If the Texans intend to draft Reggie Bush this April, perhaps Domanick Davis would be available to fill the Brian Westbrook role in the Eagles-style offense new Vikings coach Brad Childress is bringing to Minnesota-though the Texans would likely need more coming back their way than just Williamson in a deal for Davis. Maybe there's a shred of truth to this speculation…

interesting from fanball...not sure how credible..interesting..if that's the case i guess it's bush...not my first chioce...but not my third!!(vince)
 
its hard to know-1 it probably wont happen
2-the vikes wont want to send more than a high 1st round pick from only a year ago if it did happen
