wow it is freaking laughable
top 5 payroll ( based on link that was shown on this thread)
and yet .average to lower NFL average in ticket prices

you'd think it would be top 5 ticket prices and average to below average in NFL salary if Bob was so cheap and was so greedy
oye.
take away Schaub's $10 million dollar bonus that he got after the season and they drop to middle of the road. take away Dunta's $10 million franchise tag (which they have now released him) and they drop to the bottom 1/3 of payroll.
but yes, counting Schaub's 10 million bonus and Dunta's 2009 figure, they are top 3.
yall keep pointing to 2009. i don't care about last year. they did spend money last year by signing Smith and tagging Dunta. i am talking about this year, and even the most kool-aid addled fan has to realize they have been cheap this offseason.
Bob is being cheap this year. last year he had to pony up to retain Schaub and he did franchise Dunta. this year, no Dunta money and no Schaub bonus will drop us to about 20th in payroll.
also spending money isn't going to get you a win. spending nearly $5million on Orlovsky isn't helping the team. its just wasting money. we need to spend it on players that actually play...
but continue to think that the Texans are 3rd in payroll right now...because we all know they aren't. that was last years # and it changed drastically with over $20million off those books in just Matt and Dunta alone.
Once again, Bob is being cheap this offseason and you can't spin it any other way
after all, the team went 9-7 missed the playoffs and the fans still acted like they won the Super Bowl or did anything of consequence. and the owner goes and re-signs and extends the contract of a .500 coach over a 4 year period.....screw that.
take off the rose colored glasses....bob is cheap in 2010. last year he paid $$ and we had our best year. don't expect a repeat in 2010. we have taken steps back and we are in a precarious situation with little to no depth at critical positions. thanks Bob.
