Harrison and Cushing would be a nightmare for QBs up front... But considering Cushing is coming off a significant knee injury(lack of lateral quickness) and Harrison is pushing past his prime... Harrison would not make sense financially for the Texans...
They play different positions, if we cut Wade we save 3Million and we'd be expecting 2 2nd year guys (Brooks and Jones) to be starting on both sides. I know everyone loved Winston but the fact that he wasn't a very good pass blocker is still a glaring fact to consider.
I would love Winston and Brooks on the Right...we would have nice size on the Right and smart players on the left...Brown, Smith, Myers, Brooks, and Winston is something that might just make the Texans ground attack pick up again...Still dont understand why they let him go last season...

Arellious Benn would be a good low risk high reward p/u that the Bucs are willing to hand over for a box of dominos. A guy with true size and speed that just needs to be given a chance to succeed. I mean Schaub isn't the best but Josh Freeman has looked worse than him for longer periods of time.

Would mean the Texans would have to run more "11" personal sets versus their favored "21" or "12" sets. Not sure if they'd be open to that since they like the flexibility of running plays out of 2-TE sets.
My thoughts are that Houston should give him a hard look if they really feel LB is their top priority along with WR (for the record, I think they have bigger needs at positions other than LB). Problem is so will a dozen or so other teams. Strange cut by the Dolphins in my opinion.
