    She's a good agent for sure, but it helps tremendously when you have young great players like those two

    WAJ is such a top-of-the-line player and influence on the franchise, I'm glad he got it.
    Obviously, no-trade clauses in superstar contracts will become more common going forward.

    So does that mean he isn't participating in voluntary workouts that started 4/20

    I don't think so, but there are still people who value the point values for trades. I think that is the point swakid8 was highlighting. Making the trade for the player and not the assigned value of the picks.

    OTA practices looked a little different this year for the Houston Texans. The intensity was dialed back, with a focus on being "smarter," according to coach DeMeco Ryans.

    So what does that look like? More walk-through reps.

    But as All-Pro defensive end Will Anderson Jr. enters Year 4, his intensity during team periods resembled someone trying to earn a mega extension, instead of someone who just became the highest paid non-QB in NFL history. Ryans joked that he might have to sit Anderson out "because we have to be able to actually practice."

    "He just keeps wrecking practice," Ryans said. "Let's just keep doing that, keep causing havoc, that's what he does. I was showing guys, that's what he does on Sundays as well. So, it's no surprise that Will is the guy for everyone to watch the intensity at which we operate. That's how Will Anderson plays. That's how I want everybody to be."
