[2014]Waiver Wire thread

And I watched Kevin Sumlin still get overlooked as he continued to make qbs look great that are average.

 

I'm not sure teams pick up that many new players to add to the 53 man roster a week before the season starts. But they do still pick up players throughout the year.

 

Overlooked by who...?

 

I watched Dre Hal return 2 picks for TD's in PreSeason.

 

The media and nfl

 

Lol glad he made the team.

 

The NFL hasn't overlooked Kevin. He's just cool where he's at...

The NFL is waiting on him _ not the other way around.

And who cares what the media says when the media is agenda driving in sports just like with politics _ and we're in Texas.

Hey cut Bill O'Brien some slack. It's hard to coach an NFL team AND field calls from other teams AND keep tabs on the waiver wire and free agents out there.

It was Kubiak's team before, and he got fired when we sucked. Now it's O'Brien's team. Everyone understands that the empty suit up in the owner's suite is just for show, and we all leave him alone to go play with his binoculars and toy trains before he takes his afternoon nap and drinks the entire juicebox supply in Reliant Stadium.

 

I like juice boxes; they make me feel like a kid. Convenient too. I do take an afternoon nap, but not into trains.

 

Remember when the Ravens jumped in front of the Texans in 2013 and took Arthur Brown and everyone was angry?

Looks like Brown is on the trade block.
Texans took Swearinger with the next pick.

[rQUOTEr]Baltimore Ravens linebacker Arthur Brown has been the subject of trade discussions with other teams, according to league sources.

Brown, who was selected in the second round of last year's NFL draft by the Ravens, was a healthy inactive last week. He appeared in 14 games as a rookie, but did not start a game.

The Ravens selected former University of Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley in the first round of this year's draft.

Yeah it's funny how so many draftniks missed on him. Lance Z went so far as to do a whole "There Will Be Blood" bit about the Ravens drinking our milkshake over that pick.....embarrassing.

 

Brown isn't bad, seems like good trade bait. Lots of teams needing an ILB right about now. Smith is just better for them.

 

Well he's not "bad" for a guy that never leaves the bench, but he's not a starting quality player on any team.

 

Maybe the Texans can trade for him! We are looking for another ILB aren't we?
