The Tyrann Matthieu report sounds like the Texans saying to the fans "look we tried". Similar to what they did with Solder and Butler last year.
The Mathieu situation is where I'm looking for a Gaine gauge. There are safety options galore in the market while the Texans have glaring needs at CB, interior pass rusher, and obviously OL. Don't overpay, and if you have to, let him walk.
Angelo Blackson has quietly become a quality rotation DL, hope we can get Covington back too as he came on late in the year. If honey badger signs for $9.5 a year consider it a discount. Also glad we didn’t sign Trent Brown for that amount. Better uses for our cap space but we do need OL help
