(Fox 26) Texans reached verbal agreement w/ Williams

Upon further investigation, all 6 were also losing teams that obviously can't draft...

 

adding on....

or the netxt Barry Sanders. Thats a tough decision - Chris Mortensen

You can find the clip on the side bar of ESPN.com in the ESPN Motion section.

 

not much. seriously. the defense absolutely sucked. they were awful. in my opinion, they were worse than the offense. the game where the 3rd string Ivy League QB came in and had a field day in one half against them was nothing short of amazing.

 

Apparently the Bush won't play for the Saints rumor is coming from profootballtalk.com

SEGAL PLANNING A BAYOU POWER PLAY

A league source tells us that agent Joel Segal plans to take the position that tailback Reggie Bush will not play for the New Orleans Saints.

The move, the source surmises, is aimed at allowing Segal to save some face after blowing Bush's shot to be the first overall pick in the draft.

The source also tells us that the Texans opted to tab defensive end Mario Williams with the No. 1 overall pick due to Bush and Segal's sky-high monetary demands. Segal, we're told, wanted $30 million in guaranteed money -- a 25 percent increase over the $24 million in guaranteed money that quarterback Alex Smith received as the No. 1 overall pick in 2005. Although Bush's recent P.R. problems didn't, we hear, play a role in the Texans' decision, word is that the multiple issues regarding Bush and his family caused the Texans to conclude that the fan base would be more likely to accept the decision to draft Williams.

As to the Saints, the thinking is that they are more than happy to fall out of the No. 2 spot, and the financial commitment that it requires. The Jets are an obvious choice to make a move, and they've got the No. 29 overall pick to throw into the mix.

Under the trade value chart, however, the Jets would still need 160 points to justify the transaction. The No. 2 pick is worth 2,600 points, the No. 4 selection is worth 1,800, and the No. 29 pick has a value of 640.

If a trade goes down between the Jets and Saints, New Orleans would draft tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson or linebacker A.J. Hawk at No.4.

ESPN's Sal Paolantonio reports that the Packers and the Raiders have contacted the Saints about a possible trade up, as have the Cardinals. The Cardinals, interestingly, would make the move not to draft Bush -- which would drop him to at least No. 3.

The Cardinals, we figure, would make the move in order to nab Ferguson. Then the question becomes whether the Titans stick with Vince Young, or whether they select Bush.

The most intriguing landing spot for Bush is Green Bay, where he would provide the kind of Reggie White impact for which Lord Favre recently has been whining. Ironically, Favre wrote off in his press conference about nothing from April 8 the possible impactof any rookie in 2006.

Brett might feel differently if the rookie they end up with is Reggie Bush.

And the Saints could still slide to the five hole and get Ferguson or Hawk. New Orleans also would be slotted one spot lower, meaning less money required to sign the player.

 

Dont take me seriously yet, no confirmed reports, or solid sources yet

 

Guess 1.....Dolphins, they just hired Dom Capers.

 

hell f'n yes.

 

I told a bunch of my friends that if we did not take Bush that I would never watch another Texans football game...........................................They just lost a huge fan........

 

wow...can you imagine if reggie slides that far? man. i'll laugh my ass off if VY gets picked before reggie tomorrow.

 

Funny how this comes out now...... The analysts always have the right information at the right time,"well actually trey i thought this was going to happen all along becase......" they are all so full of poop

 

see..it's totally happening!!!

this is cracking me up. i haven't been this entertained in quite some time. other than the cowboys 19-10, this might be the most entertaining Texans event ever!

 

yeah, no kidding. particularly someone at ESPN. give me a break.

 

What is your reaction (Texans drafting Mario #1 over Reggie)

What is your reaction to the Texans drafting Super Mario William over Reggie Bush ?

I had wanted Reggie Bush since the tanking began back in Dec. and I know Dfense help wins championship but I dont think Mario William is worth a #1 pick.
I still believe with a player like Reggie Bush in this draft and you have the #1 pick and you should take HIM, but Mario William teaming up with DRod should really help this Dfense. I'm still shock though ....

 

That would be awesome.

 

george: what did you tell them?

elaine: i told them you didn't. and then i laughed and laughed.

 

i have no idea what i think from a football perspective.

but i'm immensely entertained.

 

It's come full circle. It started with Reggie fans, then came Vince fans and now back to the Reggie fans.

 

man, isn't that great??? that's absolutely brilliant.

sex...to SAVE the friendship.

 

This makes the draft tomorrow so much more fun... Reggie/Mario/Vince/D'Brick/etc was going to be fairly boring. Now, we have no idea what the hell will happen.

 

i agree. much more fun. we have a little league game tomorrow at 3. is it wrong i'm rooting for rain? come on...he'll have a make-up game!!!
