LOL..that was crazy. Yeah, I think this team has a lot of needs going forward...I'm glad they made the playoffs, but I'm not looking forward to a first place schedule next season.

Second place nets you the Jets and Steelers. I'd take that over Cincinnati and New England - but when two teams in your division are annual locks to win 3, 4, 5 games, you're going to likely see an extra playoff team, or 2, almost by default.
lady gaga and amy adams looked stunningly beautiful. the dress a little too orangy, but would still take it off and work those hips.
Looking through overthecap.com... Release Hoyer, Shorts, Graham, Foster, Rahim Moore, Wilfork …that's 23 million in cap savings. I don't want to resign Crick…never liked him. I don't care for Ben Jones, he sucks at center. We need to resign Brooks asap. We should have about 50-55 million in cap space before resigning Brooks. There is no reason why we can't make significant changes to the roster. We will need the following via free agency and draft. QB - 1 FA and at least 1 rookie RB - 1 FA and at least 1 rookie WR - 1 FA and at least 1 rookie TE - FA or Rookie OL - 1 FA and at least 1 rookie DL - 2 FA and at least 1 rookie LB - 1 FA and at least 1 rookie DB - 1 FA QB: FA (RG3), Rookie, Savage RB: FA, Blue, Rookie WR: Hopkins, Strong, FA, Rookie, Mumphery TE: Griffin, FA/Rookie, CJ OL: Brown, XSF, Brooks, Newton, FA, Rookie, Quessenberry, Aboushi DL: Watt, FA, FA, Rookie, Covington, Pagan LB: Clowney, Merci, Cushing, McKinney, FA, Rookie, Simon, Dent DB: Joseph, Jackson, Johnson, FA, Hal, Demps, Bouye, Pleasant That's a decent template to work with. Of course, not everything should be exactly like that, but that should give an idea of where to distribute the talent. Every position group needs upgrading and we have the money to make it happen.
Let's draft the Alabama kicker too while we're at it. We could use a legit kicker so we don't see that Knile Davis incident again. Wait, is he even eligible?
Charlie Pallilo said there are 5 Texans that must be cut: Arian Foster Garret Graham Raheem Moore Brian Hoyer Vince Wilfork $6.5 mil cap hit $20 mil cap savings
You'll need to find competent replacements for Foster and Wilfork and pay them. I would do that before cutting them. Rather take the hit with Foster than start the season with Blue as the starter.
I don't know what the money looks like but Crick and Jones are serviceable back-ups. You can't guy your roster. Depth is just as important as front line starters, given how many injuries there are.
I'm not. I see no reason to let Ben Jones walk. At all. And with what he posted, that's banking on 6-7 rookies to come in and fill roles. Not to mention all the FAs that would have to come in and do the same. It just doesn't work that way.
2016 Houston Texans Unrestricted Free Agents Shane Lechler Brandon Brooks Ben Jones Jared Crick Chris Clark Chris Polk Nate Washington Quintin Demps Nick Novak T.J. Yates Brandon Weeden
Dueces to: Clark, Polk, Washington, Novak, Yates, and Weeden. Maybe crick as well. My roster cuts would be Graham, Foster, Wilfork, Moore, and Hoyer.
Maybe on Wilfork, but not Foster. He's gotta be cut. If he wants to sign a new deal then great, but the 5 mil we'd save is more valuable than the 30 year old RB coming off an Achilles tear is.
