[Official] Texans offseason thread

you are right .. if centers were to be cut based on how they performed against kris jenkins than so many of them would be out of a job .. just look at the guys highlight reel, he is a beast

Texans are a team interested in Leinart, along with perhaps Seattle, Minnesota, Cincy, Tennessee and Jacksonville

 

I am starting to think Leinart will be backing up Matt sometime this season.

@caplannfl: Source said QB Zac Robinson has been claimed by the #Seahawks.

 

That's good news. Leinart is not great, but given how Or-safety has been playing, he is an upgrade.

 

This CBS Blogger doesn't think Seattle is in the mix for Leinart...

Texans claimed former Texas Tech CB Jamar Wall. Wall was the 6th round pick of the Cowboys this year.

Seahawks cut Julius Jones and Jordan Babineaux today. I think the Texans may take a look at Babineaux. He can play either corner and safety and has some starting experience in this league. He is a Port Arthur native. As for Jones, new Texans QB coach Greg Knapp knows him well since was the OC at Seattle last year. If Jones has anything left, he should know.

 

Texans also claimed linebacker David Nixon from the Oakland Raiders. Nixon played at BYU and is from College Station.

does a claim on these players equate to a right to sign, or is this the process in which all teams can place claims that will later be sorted on weakness of claiming team?

 

@mortreport: RT @jeffbaringhaus: @mortreport Where does Leinart end up now? >.> Handicapping Texans as the favorites

 

They claimed them, so now on the 53 man roster. Havent heard anything about any PS players yet.

 

so that should pretty much kill the shoebel speculation now.

i believe that puts us at 53.

 

Well..

RavensInsider

Looks like 1 spot still open now

 

Interesting, no John David Booty OR Jeremiah Johnson.

It is as follows:

C Brett Helms, OT Cole Pemberton, DT Malcom Sheppard, LB Isaiah Greenhouse, S Torri Williams, WR Bobby Williams, RB Chris Ogbonnaya


1 opening on PS, 1 opening on roster

 

Well they have one more opot spot on the 53 man roster and I think that goes to a QB either Matt Leinart or Patrick Ramsey. If that is the case, no need to sign Booty to the practice squad. As for why Johnson isn't on the practice squad, he is injured for at least a month so there thinking is why waste a spot on the practice squad for a unhealthy player. When he heals up, I am sure they will take a look at him.

 

Yeah, good point on Johnson. Not sure what they'll do at QB

 

I hope if they sign another QB it is to replace Or-loss-ky on the 53 man squad and not Booty on the practice squad.

 

Not much of an update but here's what Mcclain had to say.
