    This is what happens when you mismanage the cap

    Just sucks because it's the kind of guy you'd like to keep around. Great story. Busted his ass. You coached him up...and now he's going to use that against you 2x/year.

    They've actually done a pretty decent job with the cap lately and how they structure contracts. They'll have a lot of money going into next offseason. More than enough to extend Clowney and Hopkins plus add a couple more guys.

    We made him an offer and someone made him a better offer. No hard feelings and for our sake I hope last year was his career year.

    I think he means 13M in year 1, not 3M

    Mismanging the cap is paying someone tier 1 cb money after only one good year when you already have depth at the position with other needs.

    Texans cap situation has been very good over the last couple years. The only mistake was Brock, but that contract was written perfectly. We could have signed Bouye if we really wanted him at that price, even before the Brock trade. He actually got less than I thought he would get. I figured 30 million guaranteed. Teams have their priorities and I think it's obvious the Texans weren't interested in Bouye beyond a certain price tag.

    Nope, $3M is right. $10M signing bonus + $3M Year1 + $13M Year2, all guaranteed = $26M.

    Why do people act like they wouldn't do the exact same thing in his situation. If I could increase my salary by more than 500% why the **** not? **** if I can increase my salary 10% I'm out the door. He was undrafted and now he makes 13 mil a year. Tell him congratulations and enroll your kid in spring ball

    While true, he needs to stay a little classier and not talk about the fans booing more than any team in the league.
    That was a quick throw under the bus of all Texans fans.

    He stated facts, we've booed our qbs off the field for the last four season. Maybe if we had better qb play there wouldn't have been booing...

    I wondered too.

    He's from Florida, so that explains.

    Classy is not about facts and truths. Anyone on the team could come out today and say that they are ecstatic to get rid of Brock because he was the worst qb they have ever seen and it would certainly be stating facts.
