    Now that he is released watch him latch on a team and go for 1600 yards and 20 TDs

    Nope, he wasn't. AJ is the most overrated Texan IMHO. Don't get me wrong he was great but not feared great. Oh and the TD thing. Foster destroyed teams every season before his injuries. Plus Foster had a great personality that got the Texans some primetime attention. AJ was as exciting as a rock on camera.

    If only they could have ended Andre's tenure here the same way. Instead of the stupid "you'll only have 40 catches if you stay here".

    When healthy, those teams with Andre, Schaub and Foster were fun to watch.

    Great offensive line too

    I understand the move.

    Foster was obviously among my favorites. Running backs like that don't come around very often.

    WOW. Those are scary stats for an oft-injured player.

    See ya Arian. Glad to have that extra cap space $ to sign someone who will be productive on our team......or just take up space.

    May not be a popular sentiment, but I wish the Texans would put up a statute or some type of plaque/remembrance for Foster. RB is a fierce position. Foster gave us his all for a long time, and he was truly one of the best to do it.

    Doubtful. I don't think there's much cap savings to be had

    Actually he specifically said it would not be a financial decision.

    Expected, but none the less a total bummer.
