Win-win. He didn't go to a contender and we're already done with the Jags. And he's a douche that will inevitably complain about getting stuck on a crappy team. Triple win!

He was a below average player with the Texans, he got on the Juice and become an above average player with the Eagles. Because of the juice, he's now injury prone and probably off the juice so that puts him even more below average than he was originally with the Texans. No, do not want.
Good outcome for the Texans. Babin was not coming to the Texans, and we kept him away from a contender.
You're right he was below average as a Texan but he was also playing a different position. Worked his butt off at Tennessee, and had a pro-bowl season. Earned a contract with the Eagles and had a pro-bowl season his first year there. Even though he played about half the defensive snaps, he led the team in sacks this year so far. I don't know where you're getting your info from but he's not injury prone, he's definitely not below average in the past three seasons. You obviously don't pay attention to football outside of the Texans.
I heard a basin interview a while back and he seemed to really hate the texans. I don't think he would be willing to sign here under any circumstance
Wow. Well. Crappy teams make crappy decisions. Best of luck with that one, jagz. 7 Teams in 9 years. Jeez.
when everyone complains about the texans not going after every available top free agent every year. i want you to remember the Dream Team Eagles... they signed every hot player on the market. since then. they have gone 11-16 and at best, back to back 8-8 seasons.. whats really funny, i have a few friends up in philly. they keep saying that the only player out there that seems to give a damn.. is DeMeco Ryans..
I just can't believe the jags picked him up off waivers, what reason would they have for doing that. Besides terrible management.

He said he wanted to play for a winning team but not a single winning team wanted him. Time for Jason get start a new cycle...
This. A 1,000 times THIS. Hard-working, well-liked talented players don't bounce around the league that much. He's garabage.
Seven teams with better records than the Jaguars wanted him. How do you know none of the seven teams was a winning team?
He has more sacks in the last 3 years than anyone on the Texans. He obviously had a horrid start to his career but all signs point towards him turning things around.
