    Calm the **** down. I think your misconstruing the context of the word forced. It feels forced in the way of promoting it, not as him being forced to give away his paycheck. Good on him, I admire the philanthropy.

    It's becoming clear.. JJ Watt is white. That's why he sucks and is fat? Not sure why else you suddenly support anything that is eggball (Watson and Clown dude). I now respect your comments so much more... :rolleyes:

    Near 80% fail rate in key 2-4 rounds. So... no.

    I don't support twatson or clown dude. Just saying they have more impact than the over-rated, unathletic fatt. Don't make this a racist thing.

    Doesn’t seem forced to me at all. Now more than ever this is the type of thing that needs to be covered more. Kudos to D-Dub. Proud to say I’m a fan of the team that he QBs.

    Watson is something else. The guy deserves all the success he's gotten so far and deserves to be a top tier QB in the NFL

    It is easy to get wrapped up in to it, but that is very similar to the other GM's. A lot of those picks are successful in other situations right now as well. Rick has been a good GM who needs to improve in certain areas.

    Exactly. If the News showed more stories like this I would actually watch it. This is news worthy to me and not those lies and garbage they report nightly.

    I'm pretty sure someone heard about it and decided it was a good idea to film it and put it on the Texans site.

    Remember they want as many hits as some of these other internet sites.

    Props to him for giving back either way... i don't see anyone here donating an entire check to help the needy. Such a crappy post.

    It actually has been discussed already lol but to add to this, great guy! Out of all the Texans I would love to meet this guy and take a pic to remember forever (weird but idc).

    Plus, he’ll be getting more endorsements as he progress so a couple hundred thousands won’t be much later.

    Just looking at the Jags and Titans, looks like it's a mixed bag. Also should probably distinguish being released vs. leaving via FA.

    The Jags have 5 starters with 33% being released.

    The Texans have 3 starters with 40% being released.

    The Titans have 1 starter with 52% being released. Pretty terrible but the Titans also fired the GM in 2015.

    Texans:
    2 Benardrick McKinney LB Mississippi State - Starter
    3 Jaelen Strong WR Arizona State - Released
    2 Xavier Su'a-Filo G UCLA - Starter
    3 C.J. Fiedorowicz TE Iowa - Starter
    3 Louis Nix DT Notre Dame - Released
    4 Tom Savage QB Pittsburgh - Still on team
    2 D.J. Swearinger SS South Carolina - Released
    3 Brennan Williams OT North Carolina - Released
    3 Sam Montgomery LB LSU - Released
    4 Trevardo Williams OLB Connecticut - Released
    3 DeVier Posey WR Ohio State - Traded
    3 Brandon Brooks G Miami (Ohio) - Left via FA
    4 Ben Jones C Georgia - Left via FA
    4 Keshawn Martin WR Michigan State - Traded
    4 Jared Crick DE Nebraska - Left via FA
    2 Brooks Reed LB Arizona - Left via FA
    2 Brandon Harris DB Miami (Fla.) - Released
    4 Rashad Carmichael DB Virginia Tech - Released

    Jags:
    2 T.J. Yeldon RB Alabama - Still on team
    3 A.J. Cann G South Carolina - Starter
    4 James Sample SAF Louisville - Released
    2 Marqise Lee WR USC - Starter
    2 Allen Robinson WR Penn State - Starter
    3 Brandon Linder G Miami (Fla.) - Starter
    4 Aaron Colvin CB Oklahoma - Still on team
    2 John Cyprien SS Florida International - Starter
    3 Dwayne Gratz CB Connecticut - Released
    4 Ace Sanders WR South Carolina - Released
    2 Andre Branch DE Clemson - Left via FA
    3 Bryan Anger P California - Left via FA
    3 Will Rackley G Lehigh - Released
    4 Cecil Shorts WR Mount Union - Left via FA
    4 Chris Prosinski DB Wyoming - Released

    He probably asked Texans front office people if it would be appropriate.

    It's not Watson's fault Amy follows him around with cameras.
