    Why you always lyin…

    4th highest cap hit amongst RBs in the league.

    He'll be on the team next season if he's willing to make less than 4 million.

    The most important piece we ever had in franchise history so far.

    Arian always brought despite what people said to the contrary. I will keep rocking my Foster wristbands as long as I'm a Texan fan

    Please don't release him Texans. Just restructure his contract for a more team friendly deal. Foster to me, is a Texans and will forever be a Texans in my heart. Such an awesome Back with amazing skills and vision. There will never be another runner like him. The sharp cuts he makes are eye popping.

    He had some bad luck with injuries this season but give him another chance. He's special. Don't release him, just restructure his deal. Arian Nation

    Agree with you totally. Releasing Foster feels blasphemous...

    To me it feels right unless he's willing to take a HUGE pay cut.

    Hes not the same player as you remember..a 30 year old RB coming from a groin and achilles injury..Texans would be fools not to cut him..

    Good Running backs come and go, they are a dime a dozen. Just go draft one.

    He always gave his best. It's tough to see him go, but that's business.

    Can the Texans fetch Atleast a 3rd rd pick for him?

    That's so ironic because the best running back the Texans ever had was undrafted.

    He's been a beast for us, and I've never had the personal animosity that some seem to have towards him. Unfortunately this is the nature of the business for all positions, but particularly 30 year old RB's, which is what he'll be next season and coming off surgery.

    Alfred Blue seemed to be figuring it out late in the season. Add a guy in the draft, maybe bring back Grimes as a 3rd down back and I would be fine entering next season with that group.

    That's completely wrong.

    When healthy Foster was a top three back and per game total yards were best of all time level.
