The best part is that it's really only a 2 year deal with how the guaranteed money is set up. Good price, good contract. Sounds win-win to me.
Joseph has to be gone, I think. Saves $8.5MM, lets us develop Bouye/Morris/Rolle more, etc... Makes sense.
I think that'll depend on guys like Randall Cobb and Ryan Mallett, if the extra money is needed then maybe.

I like what the Texans are doing. If we can turn out some solid picks.. Could really have a nice roster.
Jacquian Williams following entire Houston media on twitter. Probably means he is a Texan. If so, its a good pickup. Helps provide depth at OLB if and when Clowney is not ready to go.

Cobb supposedly balked the idea of 8-9 mil from GB with ARod at QB. Why would he come here for less and play with a less quality QB?
