I think Will Anderson will be better. A better secondary gives the front 7 more time. ILB in 2nd or 3rd round tend to be more reliable than DT. The only clear upgrades at DT or DE will cost you the same as 2 or 3 free agents. I tend to believe they would rather not over pay the guys out of Baltimore or KC if they even get out of their own buildings.
I think a lot of teams don't want to invest the money into a RB after their rookie year contract, for any 2 or 3 year contract those guys might want. 72% of the rushing leaders in the NFL were 26 or younger, and It's always a gamble either way. Some get lucky in the draft with a cheap player who does good for 4 years. Fresh tires verse retreads. Running backs endure a lot of wear and tear when they are used a lot, and you never really know when their physical disability issues and decline might start. I'd rather draft running backs, but that's just me. I'd rather spend the extra money on a defensive stud.
Yes to Barkley, the rest is too much. Maybe a late round flyer on a raw back with some speed, but after saquon, put the rest of FA on defense, draft DB and WR and BPA for the rest. Money on Barkley, money on Singletary, and a 2nd round pick on a rookie is waaaay too much on one position.
Texans Predicted to Sign Chiefs Superstar Free Agent Chris Jones Pro Football Network projects Kansas City Chiefs star Chris Jones to sign with the Houston Texans in Free Agency. KC enters the offseason with $28.3 million in cap space but with the fewest players under contract of any team in the NFL. With a franchise tag for Jones estimated at about $32 million – a record for a non-QB – franchising Jones would decimate the payroll with a lot of open roster spots out there.

Our defense would be scary good!
1. You weaken your competition while strengthening your own team. 2. Demeco might just pound the table and demand Jones. We all heard the invest in the Dline remarks. 3. Jones will make WAJ an all Pro. WAJ was going to be a beast regardless but with QBs not able to step up will mean sacks galore. 4. You’ll need a lot less investment in the secondary if you generate pressure up front.
I'm telling you there is nothing more Id like than to see our team sack the hell out of the quarterbacks in our division. We'd have the potential to have the best defense this town has ever seen with Jones, Greenard, and Anderson coming at those quarterbacks. Full steam ahead, like a freight train.
To me, signing Jones and Greenard should be top priority. Adding Jones to Greenard and Will Anderson, as well as the other depth we have, would be killer.
That's what I was just saying too. Can you imagine the triple threat of Greenard, Anderson, and Jones on a QB? Sack attack baby! Can you imagine how cool it would be to have the best defense we've ever had with the best QB we've ever had? It would be awesome!!!
I’m out in Chris Jones he’s got his rings He’s gotten paid Looking for one last pay day If we do sign him what’s his motivation?? Is he still going to be hungry?? Whats going to keep him going??
I would rather jones, Barnett, and Barkley. I just think there is a chance he impacts this team in a way we could never have imagined. I know you don’t overpay for running backs, but this year only, we are in a unique position to make that mistake and get out of it just fine. The reward is so much greater than the risk. IMO.
I’m surprised there’s no talk about Al Shaair coming to Texans. I think Demeco went after him last offseason
