    in Gaine we trust....I hope he knows what he is doing. We don’t need to pay big money to a safety but I want the Texans to do something sheesh

    Not paying Mathieu was a good sign he knows what he is doing.

    Interesting that we’re not hearing a lot on CB Ronald Darby. Everyone throwing $14M at safeties, maybe can lock in the best FA CB for less. He’s coming off a torn ACL but he’s a good CB.

    With Watson/Hopkins on Offense and Watt/Clowney/McKinney/Cunningham/Reid we have a window to challenge for not only the division, but the Lombardi.

    However, we have to be players and take some chances so that in the end we are the team... "...who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

    We need some serious upgrades and there are some people that could provide those for us. Bell would give us potentially the best 3 play-makers tandem at their positions in the NFL. He could be transformative for this offense, especially if we improve the OL. We could trade Lamar for a draft pick and keep Foreman as the b/u.

    I loved signing HB, but frankly he wasn't as exciting as I hoped. I don't blame Gaine for passing on $14M per year. Reid is a playmaker and Hal is solid. Yes, I would love Thomas, but I'm afraid he'll want $15M now. I'd sign Kareem and let him focus on SS if we can get him at a reasonable price. CB is where we need to put some focus in FA and there are several to be had that can help.

    I'm betting Gaine has a plan and it may not be the splash we're all hoping for, but hopefully he's in the arena and is laser focused on who can help this team fight a tougher division than last year.

    So much talk about Texans targeting Trent Brown and not making it easy for HB to leave, both ended up being completely false.

    Well there goes that, lol. Doubt they are going to throw 14 million a year to Thomas coming off an injury or to any safety.

    At least we got Reid....

    At this point it’s looking like the market will force them to. Earl Thomas is apparently now in play too

    I’m a lot more comfortable paying Earl Thomas 14 mil than HB

    Do not believe this. It is purely the agent stirring up the market. Texans are not involved on Thomas.

    eh Kjax. Didn't want him anyway.

    (inner thinking: "holy f! Ok. chill out. Amos and Earl are still out there.)
