Pancakes version of reporting is patiently waiting for the Texans to tell him something, and the accepting whatever it is they've told him as the absolute and final truth. If the Texans told Pancakes that these aren't the droids he's looking for, he'd be all "move along, move along".
http://houston.cbslocal.com/2012/03...ohnson/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter So John, JLC says Andre contract has been restructured.You have something else to say. Its not true. Why? Under the rules, you cannot extend a contract twice within a fiscal year. You can convert salary signing bonus money and thats what he reported. I talked to Kennard McGuire and he says its not true. Where does he get this from? Same place where he said Stanford Routt was visiting the Texans, same place where he said Kevin Walter was out 8-10 weeks, same place where he said that the Titans were going to franchise Finnegan. I could go on and on. This is not an isolated incident. Sounds like he lies a lot. No, they get bad information and they trust people and trust the wrong people. At what point do you say, I dont take his word for it? Well I dont. If I hear a report, I check it out with people I trust. Sometimes they're right. The guy right the most is Adam Schefter. Could this report be premature? That it could happen? It could be. They have not started negotiations on it. Right now its not done and they're not talkign about it. Nothing done right now. They could do it because the Texans are in the salary cap problem right now because of last year. They were desperate for D help. They pushed money into this year, hoping the cap would go up. The cap is supposedly not going up, and looks like its not going up next year. Every move you make, you have to think ahead. Their goal is, if they cant re-sign Mario, that will give them money to try and avoid Brown, Barwin, Schaub being unrestricted next year. They're trying to look ahead. You still have to re-do some and that is one of the ways. They could do something with him but right now, they're not. Buy that Manning wants to be in the AFC? I dont buy it. They're gonna do a deal that best suits them. Miami is a perfect situation. They'll put in how Peyton wants to do it and go from there. Peyton deserves to have his own offense. Another report says he wants to go where the most money is. When you talk about guaranteed money vs super bowl, wouldnt it be better to take less money to go somewhere where he could win? You're right. That report is wrong. Peyton got more money than God. How can you guarantee Peyton money right now? You dont know if he can play or throw. We're not talkign about the Peyton of two or three years ago. Peyton will make money but he'll go into a situation that suits him best with the best coaches to get along with and the best talent. If Miami can sign him, they can use the pick on the tackle from Iowa. What about the Jets? Media driven. They have a cancerous locker room that I dont see him going there. With all the problems and hype, if they sign him, no telling what Rex would predict. Miami seems to fit Peyton. Why is it not true - the story from La Canfora? Because they havent done it. Expect to hear about them restructing deals? Yeah, they've already re-done deals to free up money for Arian. They're gonna make Mario an offer to get his attention, probably Monday. They'll be working around the clock to free up money. If they cant get Mario, they want to get everyone else. Considering so many teams are interested in Mario, if Mario takes a couple of weeks and Myers comes and says, look, I have a 4 million dollar a year offer from this team and I dont take it in 24 hours, its going to be gone and they're sitting there hamstrung because they dont know if they'll have that money available. They'll try to sign some guys before they go on the market. I do see Chris Myers back. Im worried about Joel Dreessen because I like him. I think he'll have a chance to go be a starter and at age 31, this will be his last contract. I think he'll end up going somewhere else.
I love you, Andre Johnson. Have my baby, please. You are a class act, sir. "I gravel at your feet." (name that movie - difficulty: easy ) #80 has been the epitome of the classy receiver, and Mr. Johnson is doing it justice... CLASS ACT again.
I fail For some reason, I missed it completely. Got too excited by Swoly I guess (that's not what she said)
I don't doubt that Mcclain talked to Andre's agent, but does he not realize that it's possible his agent is denying the report because the Texans don't want the info out there? And maybe La Canfora has the info from somewhere else that isn't trying to keep anything secret? And it was John Clayton that reported the Walter injury thing IIRC. Not sure who reported Routt but I think it's very possible the Texans talked to him and word got out. Sound like Mcclain is just huffing and puffing as usual trying to be right about something.
The texans have been pretty tight lipped about everything( see Arians deal). So it makes me wonder if something like this would really leak out. Perhaps it's a discussion on the table as a possibility and not a formal done deal. Regardless , I'm sure talks are going on every which way for the texans front office. I am getting a feeling that Dreessen may be done. I think a lot of teams will give him a pretty decent offer. I hate to lose him but he may be the odd man out. Either way, I think we will see a TE taken this draft. Graham looks decent as a receiver but I'm not sure he can be as good a blocker as Joel
How can you not love this team. The City of Houston is so lucky to have class acts like Arian Foster and Andre Johnson. This whole franchise top to bottom is full of great characters. The on the Nose episodes by Cody were great, really made me feel closer to the team as a fan. Seeing them clown around like that, and the Ninja Smith.
John McClain @McClain_on_NFL Agent Kennard McGuire and Texans say Andre Johnson hasn't redone deal to free up cap dollars. I could see it done before Tuesday deadline.
What a diva who got all agitated when someone else broke the news before he could and say it's not true and then go back and say, "i can see it done by tuesday". Talk about hi jacking someone else news to boost your egos.
I disagree, he is play-by-play the best, if he doesnt stay healthy this year I will agree... He is an exceptional blocker as well, only Hines Ward is better.
Calvin, he was amazing last year... Can buy that, but not Fitz, and no, he is not as explosive as AJ.
