    That's odd, 3 of them are strong safeties only Lewis is a free safety, there has to be another move somewhere, right? Maybe they pick up Champ Bailey and play him as a free safety?

    We gotta be making another move. Doesn't make much sense.

    Yes, Manning is back! Great depth move.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Texans?src=hash">#Texans</a> are expected to sign S Danieal Manning, pending physical.

    He's also potentially our best kick returner too. I like the move on paper.

    You gotta be freaking kidding me. You know what the secondary needs a vet presence, and Manning knows how to get guys lined up. But dang I was hoping for Wright

    We still need a free safety, by my count that's 4 strong safeties and 1 free safety on the roster unless they use them interchangeably like Wade Phillips did.

    I fail to see the excitement for Damaris Johnson. I wish we didnt waste a roster spot on him.

    One of the int was in a Patriots game that Brady was the QB.
    Once again, are you sure you have your stats right?

    So the Texans cut Manning and than sign him back... When he could have just been here and learning the new system.

    I wonder if any cap space was tied up due to cutting him.

    Ha Manning rully recovered from injury? Or am I thinking Jonathan Joseph? for some reason I thought manning was injured too.

    How do you figure this?

    Keshawn has more size, more speed, and is younger.

    Keshawn has had more success returning kicks and punts.

    Plus, Damaris has fumbled the ball 3 times in 55 total returns while Keshawn has fumbled the ball 3 times in 128 total returns.

    There isnt one thing Damaris is better at than Keshawn, other than being undersized.

    EDIT: Keshawn also had the misfortune of being coached my Marciano.

    Being honest here, thought we would be more active on the waiver wire (especially at LB and RB). But, I like the moves that we made.
