Well, the Superbowl is over. Is it time to start talking about potential Free Agent targets. I think we know the needs. Just getting this rolling. Will sit back with the popcorn and take it in.
I am not sure how active the Texans will be in free agency but a few guys on that list that intrigue me are Laken Tomlinson (young, one of the best run blockers in the league), Cordarrelle Patterson (playmaker, could be a poor mans Deebo Samuel) and James Conner (could be RB1, power back for Hamilton’s offense). They have Maliek Collins getting over 9 million per year…so may need to look for another IDL.
Foyesade Oluokun is on my free agency wish list. I had him in fantasy football this season and he consistently put up monster numbers. I like K.G but Oluokun is on another level
Caserio isn't going to hae much money to spend in FA but here are some cheap upgrades. I would like to see the RB/TE/WR positions on offense and the CB/S positions on defense improved in FA. I'm only going to used UFA's RB- Jeff Wilson/Mack/Wilkins Give me 2 0f these 3. TE- O.K. Howard/ Mo-Allie Cox/Erick Ebron/Ross Dwelley Give me 2 out of these 4. WR- James Washington OG/C- Andrew Norwell/ James Daniels Daniels plays C. CB's Dontae Jackson/ Akhello Witherspoon/ Jason Verret S- Jabril Peppers/Malik Hooker/Duron Harmon I also like Joseph Noteboom OT/OG TCU/Rams on the cheap. Ethan Pocic C/OG.
Last year he started in the negative and then managed to work his way to opening up 30 mil in cap space. This year he has a 17 mil cushion before trading Oil Booty and LT, if he doesn't take back any contracts in the trades that would bring the cap space to 52 mil. Let the man work
They're still having to eat the Mercilus/Cunningham etc... dead money. After this coming season the books will be cleared.
If he only trades OB and takes back no new contracts, cap space will be 42 mil. He could also cut Marcus Canon and Eric Murray for an additional 11 mil. So potentially the Texans could go into free agency with 63 mil in cap space.
