Texans extend Rick Smith's contract through 2020 http://www.chron.com/sports/texans/...ick-Smith-s-contract-through-2020-8658177.php
It's pretty much a non-story, once upon a time I could see arguments against Smith, but he's not special not terrible.
He's pretty damn bad. He had a stretch of good drafts earlier in the decade, but he's had 1 really good draftee (Hop) in the previous 3 years, and a couple fringe starters (Blue/Griffin) - it's a pretty pathetic haul. Hopefully 2015 & 2016, with B'OB providing more input, improve our percentages. His biggest misstep is the 1 I give him a pass on - Clowney. 99% of the population and likely 100% of the GMs picks him 1st, but can you imagine if he went bold and grabbed Mack? IIRC, there were many on this board that were calling for Mack over Clowney.
