    If I was a FA WR I would see this as a reason to cross the Texans off the list. Hoyer might not have been the 3rd best QB on the Texans roster last year.

    Hmmmm, well maybe more of a middle of the road receiver will do and look to the draft then because Mallett should be priority now,Just no Hoyer!

    Dear lord no. Give me Orakpo or Hughes at 9 mil per year and draft a Devante Parker at 16

    Cobb will probably be playing for Jacksonville then. They have money to blow

    He's largely considered the top FA WR on the market, he'll get paid and it'll probably be by a very good team.

    Im sure hoping all this talk about Hoyer is just smoke to make other teams think we arent that interested in keeping Mallett so his price will stay reasonable.

    Looks like the Eagles will land Byron Maxwell:

    Would be surprised if we could lure a top notch wr given our qb situation. Would be very happy to be wrong, but I'd rather focus on other positions and draft a wr at 16.

    Even though it was his first contract, always smart to go back to play with the best QB. :)

    Turned down an extra $1.5MM per year to stay in GB... wow. He'll only be 28 when he gets his next deal though so he has another chance to cash.

    smart, Rogers will inflate his stats for the next contract

    which is why it will be tough for HOU to land a free agent WR without overpaying

    I really hope AJ80 signs with GB, keep him out of the AFC and he deserves an elite QB for his final years

    Interesting. We'd probably cut Fitz (save $3.2MM) and then give Hoyer around $4MM and Mallett around $5-$6MM. I'd be ok with that.

    This must mean they're trading for Foles.
