I thought of that. Our OLineman didn't exactly look "weak." They seem like they could move just about anything. I have argued all year that the Texans had a "coaching" deficit. If the new OC gets here and the team looks "reborn" we will know why.
They're dumb and they need to find at least a LG and probably a RG too. Drafting 2 of these 3 guys would be a game changer and this is possible. Booker/Zabel/Milum
Demeco knows him well and he does have a solid reputation in the league, so I'm pretty sure they've talked without needing a formal interview set.
Landry made a similar point. You don’t really interview Chip Kelly, at least not in the traditional sense. Given his exp and ties to Demeco it would most likely be an informal type of thing. I guess we’ll see soon enough.
Chip Kelly can go **** himself, or we can hire him (screams Buddy Ryan Oiler hire)? Need an OC + OL who can use the parts we have and make the system better.
This offseason is about as exciting as the Astros one so far. Although it's still very early. Just boring.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/st...didates-big-contracts-team-outlook-extensions Houston Texans Projected cap space: $2.6 million (25th) before Stefon Diggs's contract voids, adding $16.6 million in space Notable unrestricted free agents: Edge Derek Barnett, WR Stefon Diggs, DL Foley Fatukasi, G Kendrick Green, LB Neville Hewitt, Edge Jerry Hughes, WR Diontae Johnson, S Eric Murray, CB Jeff Okudah, RB Dare Ogunbowale, LB Devin White, WR Robert Woods Top priority: Diggs. When the Texans traded a second-round pick for Diggs and voided the final four years of his deal as a motivational tactic, it seemed like they were going to either end up landing a big win or a big loss. In the end, it fell something closer to incomplete. Diggs averaged 62 receiving yards per game and 1.91 yards per route run this season, figures close to what the four-time Pro Bowler posted in his final season with the Bills. Unfortunately for all parties involved, Diggs tore his ACL in Week 8 and missed the remainder of the season. It's unclear whether he will be able to return in time for the start of the 2025 season, and as a 31-year-old with numbers down comfortably from his prior peak, my initial suspicion was that he probably isn't looking at a significant deal in free agency. Then again, Odell Beckham Jr. got a one-year, $15 million deal from the Ravens in 2023, and that was after missing an entire season with a torn ACL. The Texans need to reenvision their offense after a disappointing performance on that side of the ball led to the firing of coordinator Bobby Slowik. They also have a hole at wide receiver behind Nico Collins after Tank Dell suffered a multi-ligament knee injury in December. A reunion with Diggs on a one-year deal in the Beckham range would make sense, but if he is able to land a multiyear guarantee elsewhere, Houston would probably need to bow out. Potential candidates for release: DT Denico Autry, OL Tytus Howard, G Shaq Mason. After the disaster that was their offensive line, the Texans have to give serious thought to making major changes up front. Howard wants to play right tackle, but the Texans have moved him to left guard each of the past two seasons, and they're likely to start 2024 second-round pick Blake Fisher at his natural position on the right side next year. Just $1.8 million of Howard's $16 million in compensation is guaranteed, so the 2019 first-rounder is a candidate to take a pay cut or get traded. Autry has been one of the league's most underrated players over the past few seasons, but he was suspended for the first six games of the season after violating the league's policy against performance-enhancing drugs. In an abbreviated debut season with the Texans, the 34-year-old had three sacks and six knockdowns in 10 games. None of the $9 million he's owed in 2025 is guaranteed, and Houston might regret its decision to sign him given what has happened since.
Damn. Is it really that far away? So players can't be signed before that date right? I need some excitement! Lol.
This is one "possible offseason move" that I've seen now multiple times and simply cannot imagine actually happening. The way that Caserio talked about him after he was signed, the indication that they didn't really agree with his suspension (unless I'm confusing him with Edwards' suspension), and how integral he was down the stretch to the success of the DL. I don't see any possible scenario where they determine the possible cap space savings would be worth cutting bait. Maybe I'll be wrong, but I just can't see it.
If the cap hit for Howard is only $1.8m then yeah he’s gone. Fisher is the RT sign a G like Trey Smith and draft another OG.
Don't want Kupp. We already tried acquiring a 31 year old WR former all pro last offseason. He couldn't last the season. Kupp's best days are behind him and he is more likely to injure himself like Diggs.
