    Cutler wouldn't take being a 3rd stringer to Tom Savage very well.

    O, I'm sorry to have annoyed you with a comment on this forum.. I forgot we were only allowed to make comments on things happening 100%. You are right though, how dare I talk in hypotheticals or mention scenarios I would rather see. I will drop it and you can carry on attacking people for their football stupidity days after the most up in the air event of the season.

    Thought I'd share a video I put together looking forward to Deshaun Watson as our QB of the future!

    a date to look out for is May 9th

    https://overthecap.com/2018-compensatory-picks-primer/

    If Texans wait until May 9th to sign free agents, it will be as if they never signed any as far as the compensatory pick formula goes.

    Yes. But with the state of quarterbacking in the league, he'll get a chance to be a 1 or a 2 by preseason.

    Possible free agent targets

    Ryan Clady, OT: The Jets declined a $10 million option on Clady in February—a no-brainer, really, after Clady missed 23 games over two seasons. The former longtime Bronco is a four-time Pro Bowler, so no doubt there will be a GM willing to give him a shot at competing for a gig this summer. As is the case with many names still out there in free agency, his health is the real mystery.

    Darrelle Revis, CB: Revis Island was open for business last season. Whether or not Revis receives an opportunity to redeem himself in 2017 boils down, in large part, to how much he wants one. At this point, he easily could drift off into retirement. He’d make for an interesting reclamation project otherwise—nowhere near the talent he once was, but probably with more in the tank than it seemed in ’16.

    Jason McCourty, CB: The ex-Titan figures to be among the more coveted post-draft free agents. His play in Tennessee did not measure up to his hefty contract, hence his release in a cost-cutting move, but he doesn’t turn 30 until October and still can hold his own outside in coverage.

    Corey Graham, S: The Bills released Graham back in March. The 32-year-old had started every game for them during the 2015-16 seasons, although that extensive playing time showed Graham probably should be in a less-intensive role. He does offer coverage abilities and experience on the back end, though.

    Anquan Boldin, WR: All signs point toward the 36-year-old Boldin playing at least one more season. (He told SI.com last summer, after signing with Detroit, that he’d love to retire as a Lion.) Boldin is what he is: a physical, reliable possession receiver. He averaged just 8.7 yards per catch last year, but finished with almost 700 yards and scored eight times.

    Would kick the tires on clady but not sure if he has anything left or if he is interesting in a move to the right side.

    You could talk me into any of the rest of those guys but I don't think the Texans will be interested honestly

    King Dunlap is probably a better player fit than clady but his off field stuff rules him out

    LOL....Stop repeating the same BS over and over. Hypotheticals..........really? It is not plausible. Bill O'Brien will not put up with whiny b****es like Cutler (See Brock...). People are CLUELESS about this team. They Parrot the same thing over and over, Not realizing the Texans' staff perceptions are different than theirs.

    Last I heard he was thinking of retirement due to chronic hip pain.

    Nick Mangold if you want to move people around. Austin Pasztor of the Browns I believe is still out there as a tackle.

    The Texans could also still trade for someone as well. The Packers and Bears made a similar deal last year.

    The Texans won't be getting an all pro, but if they are that concerned about offensive line, they can likely make a deal for an over paid solid player that may be a cap casualty or trade for a playable but limited upside player.

    If you are talking about josh sitton, the packers actually cut him and the bears signed him outright before the season started.

    Wow, you are right about Austin pasztor still being out there. Should definitely pursue him.
