Wonder who get cut in the corresponding move
Decent player. One they didn’t draft a guy, this was an obvious reunion.
I heard that Futakasi had shoulder labrum repair mid March, something that has not be reported. If this is true, he will have no action in OTAs and preseason. His readiness for the beginning of the regular season will not happen. If this is not true and he has decided against surgery, rehab requires 3-6 months [closer to 6 months for full rehab], and depending when he was considered to have begun serious rehab, he could return sometime as early as the end of May or the beginning of June. Return to play is expected in 75% of players undergoing conservative treatment, with a 70% return performance level.

Also weirdly enough every time they used him it was at right tackle and never guard.Writing was on the wall when Broeker could never break into the rotation on bad OLs.
Did Nick bring Fatukasi back to keep him from an opponent?

Texans Re-Sign Disappointing Defender to Stop Reunion With AFC Rival
The Houston Texans have used this offseason to make changes and tweaks to the roster. From trades, free agency, and the NFL draft, the moves around the team havhouseofhouston.com
He did have some plays that I really thought would push him into better better productivity but seemingly that did not happen. I hope they are not paying him the $5 million he got last season.Or, and hear me out now, Foley was a better run-stuffer than PFF knows how to measure/grade.

Texans Restructuring K Ka'imi Fairbairn For $2.78M In Cap Savings
Per TexansCap, the Texans are agreeing to a restructured contract with K Ka'imi Fairbairn for $2.78 million in cap savings. The Texans are converting $3.475 million of his base salary to a signing bonus andnfltraderumors.co
Usually, I would agree with you. However, if we are restructuring Fairbairn for less than $3 million space, 5 million is too much for what we paid for Fatu last season.I'm fine with 5M, that's chump change for a situational starter/backup on the DL.
Get the #1 seed and home field advantage, and it's a not an issue. This should be the goal for this team in a very weak AFC South.I am disappointed about retaining Fairbairn. He's good in the regular season but he can't kick in the cold in the playoffs when it matters.
I agree, but sometimes you have to do it the hard way. And when your kicker in the cold weather is a known weakness it's time for a changeGet the #1 seed and home field advantage, and it's a not an issue. This should be the goal for this team in a very weak AFC South.
I’d be looking at kickers but I wouldn’t so eagerly be jumping into kicker hell. The grass absolutely is not always greener.I agree, but sometimes you have to do it the hard way. And when your kicker in the cold weather is a known weakness it's time for a change
Look at it this way: Fairbairn hit 13 FGs from 50+ yards last season. That was tied for 2nd in the league with the Steelers Boswell (a cold weather kicker). The next best cold weather kicker was Santos with the Bears with 9. Next was the Patriots kicker, Slye, at 6.I agree, but sometimes you have to do it the hard way.

For me Fairbairn is a tough read. I actually feel more confident with his long FG’s than with those within the chip shot range, including extra points. I think he has a bit of a mental thing on the easy stuff.Look at it this way: Fairbairn hit 13 FGs from 50+ yards last season. That was tied for 2nd in the league with the Steelers Boswell (a cold weather kicker). The next best cold weather kicker was Santos with the Bears with 9. Next was the Patriots kicker, Slye, at 6.
Basically, you're not going to get great FG kicking in cold weather. You have a good kicker for indoor/fair weather. Keep that. Because it doesn't really matter what kicker the Texans take into a cold weather game. They won't be able to replicate that climate while practicing in Houston.
or let Dare O kick since he played at Wisconson...and btw who would think that a dude from Hawaii and college in SoCal would not exactly like the cold.If the Texans get into chip shot range, they should just take like 6 straight delay penalties to get Fairbairn into his sweet spot.
Tucker is available. You want him? If not, who's out there that's better than Fairbairn?I am disappointed about retaining Fairbairn. He's good in the regular season but he can't kick in the cold in the playoffs when it matters. I've seen enough of him
Tucker the kicker is like Tucker the automobile. Neither worked out as expected.Tucker is available. You want him? If not, who's out there that's better than Fairbairn?
Yes getting the number 1 seed should always be the goal. But it shouldn't be because your kicker doesn't kick well in the cold weather.Get the #1 seed and home field advantage, and it's a not an issue. This should be the goal for this team in a very weak AFC South.
The grass may not be greener but tell me this do you trust Fairbarin to make a GW kick in Baltimore, Buffalo, Kansas City? BTW, I'm against cutting him this season due to xap reasons, knowing this is going to most likely end up biting the team in the butt this year.I’d be looking at kickers but I wouldn’t so eagerly be jumping into kicker hell. The grass absolutely is not always greener.
Obviously I don't want Tucker. I'm open to kicker competition. You never know when you find someone like Aubrey the way the Cowboys did.Tucker the kicker is like Tucker the automobile. Neither worked out as expected.
Thought the Texans did bring in a kicker recently?Obviously I don't want Tucker. I'm open to kicker competition. You never know when you find someone like Aubrey the way the Cowboys did.
Is this your gut feeling or do you have data to support this?I am disappointed about retaining Fairbairn. He's good in the regular season but he can't kick in the cold in the playoffs when it matters. I've seen enough of him
You know you've got a problem when your kicker is kicking more 50+ yards field goals than the league average.Look at it this way: Fairbairn hit 13 FGs from 50+ yards last season. That was tied for 2nd in the league with the Steelers Boswell (a cold weather kicker).
All of our ages are showing with that Tucker reference.Tucker the kicker is like Tucker the automobile. Neither worked out as expected.
Well I guess they would have to since we don’t have Tunsil to get us into field goal range anymore.If the Texans get into chip shot range, they should just take like 6 straight delay penalties to get Fairbairn into his sweet spot.
I actually checked to make sure I was in the right thread but something definitely went wrong. I think sometimes my message sticks before it is posted. Thanks!So, I guess the Texans won't be signing Sinwar after all, despite all the rumors...![]()
Well being a DB, the most powerful one in the NFL, I can take your head off with one hit. So you got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky. Well do you punk.Keydrain Calligan sounds like a Clint Eastwood movie.

I'm not sure that it's the "cold" factor that is the main problem. In an open stadium during the cold season, I would think that the wind is just as much if not a greater factor. This is especially true since many of those stadiums are near large bodies of water where there is typically a combination of high winds and cold especially during the winter months. BTW, it is fact that coastal wind speeds are greater during the winter months.Look at it this way: Fairbairn hit 13 FGs from 50+ yards last season.
