From the same author (Tony Pauline - TFY Draft Insider): I’m told the Houston Texans are not happy with not happy with Louis Nix and will target a nose tackle during the draft. And: Getting back to the New York Jets, I spoke with a league insiders about the teams free agency plans. I was told the Jets intend to be big players in the free agent market, specifically on defense. I’m told they will target outside linebackers and cornerbacks as big ticket items. They evidently will look for younger, taller corners. Potential free agents who fit the mold include Davon House, Chris Culliver and someone familiar to the teams new general manager Bob Maccagnan, Kareem Jackson.
Clowney's future in doubt... AJ getting close to the end... And I got cussed out for saying the Texans should draft Sammy Watkins. Hopefully they won't F up this year.

Johnson>Fitzgerald. Johnson-First Ballot Hall of Famer. Fitzgerald- Possible 2nd or 3rd Ballot Hall of Famer and 1st Ballot Hall of Very Good. lol Larry Fitzgerald is apparently always one of the best receivers in the NFL, yet for the last three seasons and more the guy has netted less than 1000 receiving yards, and with better quarterbacks. Ok, I'll admit Andre is a bit overpaid, but he is a Hell of a lot better and more worth it than Larry Fitzgerald IMO.
That Awkward moment when you realize you didn't see the extra 1 in Fitzgerald's salary... Damn, I really thought for a second that Fitzgerald made 18 Million for his entire career lol. Welp, I'll just quietly willow in my ignorance for a solid couple of minutes. No more internet today.
Waynes, Collins or Darby If Waynes or Collins are off the board, go BPA. Darby can be had in the second round.

They were talking on 610 today about how they feel a deal has been made between Mallet and the Texans. Since he is showing up and helping at Texans' functions which is something a free agent normally wouldn't do. I wish we could do a one year deal with him to see where he's at but if its a reasonable 3 year deal I'm all for bringing Mallet back. I think a healthy Mallet can really help this team.
AJ Hawk has been released by Green Bay. Although he's been pretty unspectacular for a No. 5 pick we need more ILB depth and he's a solid ILB
Hawk has been done for a couple years now. They moved Mathews to ILB simply because Hawk wasn't getting it done anymore. Only way I'd grab him if it was during the season and we were riddled with injuries again. They are some young guys in the draft that will be better them he is at this point right out of the gate.
He would be a great change of pace back behind Arian. I'd love to get him for cheap and use him as a Shane Vereen type role a la Patriots. He would excel in the slot role with how shifty he is, and coming out of screens.
