Shocked and disappointed. Going to really miss the ninja. Great locker room guy. Best of luck big fella.
I can't wait till he is fired so all these good ol boys that's hiding behind his face can be put to the forefront.
When JJ Watt doesn't show up because Antonio isn't there to help the excuse is already set up to be because of Romeo Crennel's defense. This is going to be some more baloney.
I'm glad for the ninja, he was getting old and he's not as useful as he once was so I'm glad he's no longer costing the Texans 10 mil a year, but it's good that he's getting one last payday.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000334228/article/antonio-smith-tarell-brown-joining-oakland-raiders It's true he gone maybe there going to sign raji or some other DT.
I think it's pretty clear they had no intention of signing a 33 year old on the down side of his career.
