[ESPN.COM] Texans resign Payne

Not a bad re-sign.

 

Paine is solid. Good move.

 

So is this what CC was talking about on 790 ? If so thats kind of a let down

 

Yeah the way he was talking about I thought it would be someone new like Trotter or another offensive lineman. He should have just came straight out about resigning Payne.

 

pat williams would have abeen a much better pick up

 

four-years and $16 million with a $4.5 million signing bonus.

(same link as first post this just takes you to the second page that mentions the Texans)

 

Where did you get the Pat Williams qoute from? It wasn't in your link. Regardless, Seth Payne is underated and unapreciated by the novice football fan.

 

I don't think anyone question that Payne is a solid player....he has just been very injury prone the last few years.

 

Hopefully the bonus will be payed out this year, I don't think he can be effective for the life of the contract and I think getting the guaranteed dough out of the way early (while we have some cap room) is a wise decision. If that is the case, this is not a bad signing. However if the bonus is spread out or even worse backloaded towards the end of the deal then it is a bad signing.

 

Solid player, excellent character but he has been injury prone over the past 2 years. Its a roll of the dice if you ask me, but if hes healthy its a good deal

 

He was signed by the Vikings.

I know where he signed but read the original post when payne realized the texans were close to signing pat williams he agreed to our deal.. if that means we could have had pat or seth I would take pat.

 

He was on 610 the other day and it really sounded like he wasn't going to be back.

 

Dude, what the heck? Too much money for someone who is so prone to injury.

Bust.
