    I have never understood the direction of the offense the past 4 years.

    I expect the defense to be good.

    So what do you think they can do now to improve team? Any other solid free agents they can look at?

    Well I’m sure Brian O Brian are pissed off. Spent 2 days throwing all they have at Solder and Butler. Missed out on other free agents. Grabbed a few unknown players that may or may not pan out. I could care less if they spend 90 mill on someone. NFL you can find ways to get out of contracts.

    Yep... like I've previously stated. He's going to get PAID.

    I think Texans can snag a LT through trade, but let's allow FA to play out.

    And sometimes missing out on guys is for the best... (Kent Bazemore). I remember fans up in arms about EG...

    Anyone that is upset we didn’t get solder is misguided.

    You don’t pay the 20th best LT per pass blocking number 1 money.

    That’s how you hurt the team.

    Texans will draft a LT in the first round next year and pay him pennies for 4 years.

    I think they need to be all in on E.J. Gaines at this point.

    This is the most important draft of all time.

    Dodged a bullet there.

    Giants are right to go all in on Eli's last hurrah.

    Won't be surprised if this completely blows up in their faces and Solder sucks though.

    Ex Patriots are basically radioactive trash IMO.

    Needs: CB, O-Line, etc.

    They've already landed... a few days in FA...
    CB Aaron Colvin
    OL Zach Fulton, Seantrel Henderson

    Already CLEAR upgrades over what we have and it only account for maybe 20 million from the 65 plus million in cap... Let's not act like Butler and Solder are worth the insane price tags. It's also arguable that Colvin is BETTER than Butler.

    My prediction was 4 years 55. Not surprised. Teams get desperate for needs.

    Your right - just have to be patient on the moves to be made

    Also if all goes well with health - with a healthy Watt, Mercilous, an Watson on the team - they will be
    Considerably better from last year

    Well you know the Texans lost the bid on both? Not like they weren’t going for them. Gaine thought they were maybe 2-3 mill off those contracts. Negotiating didn’t work.

    We will see what happens. These are all unknown players. It’s like landing Ish Smith. Tarik Black. Omer Asik from Bulls era and saying look they haven’t got the time, they could pan out.

    Think the fan base was more comfortable with a proven player but again crazy **** can happen. I hope it works out.
