League sources told FOX that Denver will sign Myers to a four-year contract worth $11 million. The deal will give Myers $3 million in guaranteed money. The Texans will give Denver a sixth-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Since Myers is a restricted free agent, the Texans could have signed him to an offer sheet and Denver would have had one week to match and if they didn't the Broncos would have received a sixth-round pick. Myers has played for Denver for three years and started 16 games for them last season. Myers, 26, is 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 295 pounds. The Texans were looking for help at center after waiving Mike Flanagan, and with Steve McKinney and Chris White both looking to bounce back from season-ending injuries in 2007.
Good signing. Don't know anything about him but the fact that he started all 16 games last year is a good sign. And center was a HUGE need this offseason. Also, he can play any position on the line. I really like these low-key signings we're making this offseason to shore up our depth.
This is a nice pickup. In the draft, I think we need to go defensive end or left tackle with our first pick
...good point bigtexxx!!!!! ...didn't even notice that!!!!...must be something in the water!!!! ...amorephd...
This a solid signing. 3m bonus, thats 750k per for bonus and 8mil over 4yrs thats 2m per. Very cap friendly for a guy that is at least durable and 26yrs old. I knew before these signings they were going either d line,cb,lb or safety in the 1st rd. build the lines 1st then the skill guys look better.
Exactly. I like what Rick Smith is doing. Feeling holes,getting ready for the draft so we can go BPA instead of drafting for need.
I like these under the radar signings. They are really filling in the holes that need to be addressed without breaking the bank. Even if they are minor upgrades, they are still upgrades in my book. Better to get a better and have more depth in multiple positions rather than trying to break the bank with one position and get burned. We have too many holes on this team and the direction management is taking to slowly plug holes is really a positive thing.
Nice pickup, he's only 26 and Bronco fans are really high on him, glad to hear we locked him up for years to come. Also, as another poster pointed out, this gives us the option of maybe moving McKinney to guard if they don't want to re-sign Weary. If the Texans are able to pick up a LT like Chris Williams at #18, we would have a very solid OL for years to come.
I don't think there is anyway Stewart gets out of the first. Dallas is has 2 picks at the end of the round and a need at RB.
"Rice University: The only college to produce a current Astro (Berkman), Texan (ND Kalu) and Rocket (Mike Harris) " so this is why they can't win anything
sour grapes from the Cougar High peanut gallery? ND Kalu beat Texas his senior year, and Lance Berkman made it to Omaha. Mike Harris's team only made it to the NIT.
