    1. Sign Foster
    2. Let Mario Walk
    3. Draft WR2 or get Reggie Wayne on the cheap
    4. Get a FA CB2
    5. Cut Leinart, further develop Yates as QB2

    I heard that we gave Wade a raise, so we'll have him back next year.

    Next Year's Expectations? A trip to the Superdome for Super Bowl XLVII. Anything less and I'm severely disappointed.

    Slaton lost his job by the end of his first season of suck and only stayed on roster as the 3rd RB for a season after that. Okoye got 4. Jacoby just finished his 5th.

    I think it'll be the same. I don't think they risk Yates being the backup this next year. Maybe the year after. But I think they like Yates enough that unless they're getting one of the few potential franchise QBs (which they won't be in a position to do) that they won't draft one.

    When Slaton was cut it was way overdue, he ran scared and it showed. Kubiak knows he needs to cut Jacoby, but I can't say for sure he'll make the right decision.

    Hell I'm ready to take a chance on DeSean Jackson baggage and all.

    Jacoby and Walter need to be gone next season. Both contribute nothing other than blocking.

    Question: Schaub has only completed two full seasons with out injury in 5 years with the Texans.
    Do you consider him injury prone? Are you good depending on him 100% next year?

    This is why it is vital T. J. Develops on my opinion.
    Or we get the next qb if it isn't yates.

    He got injured early in his texans career almost exclusively off dirty and illegal hits, I would never consider that injury prone

    (on WR Jacoby Jones) “I haven’t talked to him but he’s been a playmaker for us, and he’s one of my brothers on this team. One play does not decide a game – it just doesn’t. I’m going to tell him that when I see him on the plane. I’m just excited about next year. I can’t wait to get back to work, get around the guys and see the kind of moves we make. I just can’t wait. I love this team. I love my guys. I love the city of Houston.”

    A few mock drafts have us taking DT Dontari Poe at 26. Personally I actually agree with this idea. Yes WR is a bigger need. No it's not something you address in the first round. You get commodities that could not be found elsewhere in the first round. Speed edge rushers. Huge space eating tackles either on offense or defense.

    The good teams show us that you don't need to draft a game-changing WR in the first round. Mike Wallace? Marques Colston? DeSean Jackson? Freaking Victor Cruz? We could draft three WR's outside the first two rounds for all I care: we only need to hit on one to make the draft a success. In the meanwhile, you make a menacing defense even more menacing by adding pieces to your front seven.

    Look at the Giants. They don't wait for a spot to open up on the line before adding depth to rotate in and out, putting as much pressure on the QB as possible.

    Gotta love Foster and Johnson, two consummate professionals. You can't ask for more out of two star players. We gotta get those two guys a super bowl ring.

    I would stab Jacoby Jones if we could get Dwayne Bowe in a Texans uniform. Well I was going to do that anyway, but yea. The Chiefs may franchise him though and he's probably going to come to come with a hefty price tag, but it would make this offense lethal. Very complete receiver in terms of routes he can run and very importantly is a good blocker and hasn't shown any of the typical prima donna WR bull*****. I'd much rather add him than the at times selfish, and more one-dimensional V-Jax and D-Jax. Probably a waste of time dreaming about it though.

    I think a rebuilding Miami team without a QB and multiple needs would likely trade B.Marshall for a third round pick. Really dont need him and his payroll in a rebuild. What do u guys think?

    Does anyone know our Salary Cap status and what we can afford? I have heard that we could sign our big 3 but not all at max numbers. In my opinion this should be our priority list:

    1. Re-sign Foster
    2. Re-sign Chris Meyers (O-Lines are built on continuity; do not mess with an O-Line which is one of the best in the league)
    3. Re-sign Mario Williams. If not, franchise him and attempt to trade. I think with Mario Williams healthy this year, he would have challenged Jared Allen for the league lead in sacks. Guy was going to have a monster year. I would like to see what he can do next year in the Wade Phillips system

    We can address other needs in the draft ie. WR, DB depth, and a pass rushing OLB( if Mario Leaves)
