When have the Texans ever retained their own guys, minus Watt/McKinney/Hopkins? McKinney is the outlier and I'm surprised they kept him because they only pay the Hopkins/Watt level guys and let the Bouye/Brooks/Jones level guys walk. This is another way the Texans org needs to change the way it does business.
Bouye/Mathieu/Brooks/Jones etc...
The way you describe our roster it is mostly devoid of talent.....(minus the few you mentioned.)
Why on earth would you want to retain them?
The OL is/was devoid of talent because the former GM didn't want to pay Brown/Jones/Brooks.
