    I hope Miller loves blocking and Osweiler has learned how to duck and cover.

    4 years 72 mil. He might work out and this post will look stupid, but that sounds like an insane contract.

    Denver wasn't that far apart. They tried.

    Not shocked, we knew the Texans would have to pay a premium.

    I like this move....... Much less chance of busting than a QB draft pick and frees up that pck for other postions.

    I'll wait to see the amount guaranteed / any incentives in there before making that statement. If they only guarantee about 30 mil, that's giving them a 2 year window to see if they have a franchise QB. For a team that has struggled to find a QB and not in a good position to draft one with great prospects, I think that would be an understandable risk.

    But that means no mas hoyer! it was almost confirmed when johnny pancakes said we wouldn't get him. If a guy like fitzie was offered 10 mil by the jets and he turned down, you shouldn't feel so bad about the money. It's the market. Still have to draft a qb I believe.

    A good job. We may have a qb to do something.

    that's what arian foster never got appreciated for. his pass blocking was excellence, better than some lineman that play for the jags
