Is Red Bryant or B.J. Raji next on the list at DT now that it appears Wilfork is not coming to Houston?

 

Agreed. Might trade down and greab Maxx Williams.

 

He just signed with us

 

Nevermind, welcome to Houston Wilfork! Does anythink that either Bryant or Raji would be good as players to rotate with Wilfork or just wait for the draft to find another lineman to rotate?

 

I posted the same time you did. Yayy for the reverse jinks!

 

The move for Cecil Shorts also helps explain the conversation about Andre Johnson's potential role being reduced. Shorts is a guy who is only 27 who is good for at least 6 targets per game, Nuk is good for 10, Arian Foster is good for 5, the TE spot as a whole is probably good for another 4 leaving 5 for Andre which would be only 80 targets. 80 targets lead to about 45 or 46 receptions and that's if he stays healthy.

 

splash isn't a big enough to describe what just happened. tsunami !

 

Yes. And cut Graham.

 

weird to assume they would have signed Shorts if Andre had stayed. So I don't think the above is necessarily an accurate way to view this.

 

If there is any money left I want us to still go after Red Bryant, he'd be good insurance if Wilfork is done and he can also provide depth at 3-4 DE as a very good run stopper.

 

They were looking for a slot type WR, it's a good bet that Shorts was always a target because he fits that role well.

 

Like I said, John Lopez's story this morning didn't make sense and I accept the rep from the contrarians who defended him.

 

who was defending him?

 

Wow Stevie Johnson still available:

Hey Now!

 

Probably means he is wanting a real money contract, something I wouldn't want to offer him.

 

Eh. He sucked here but was decent after he left
