Agree it's risky. I had not heard that people view him as a snake before. The Jags/Buccs jump does appear to be not that chivalrous, but what were the reports prior to that?
That whole division is odd. The 3 teams (LAC, Den, and LV) all hired head coaches trying to recapture former glory to compete with Reid and Mahomes. Almost antithetical to the rest of NFL.
CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reports Chip Kelly “is considered a target for both the Jaguars and Texans OC positions.” Jones also adds that Kelly “could get looks in Tampa Bay.” The 61-year-old former NFL head coach is fresh off winning a national championship in his first year as Ohio State’s offensive coordinator and had spent the previous six seasons at UCLA before leaving to take the job at Ohio State. Kelly spent six seasons in the NFL (2013-2016) during his time with the Eagles and 49ers. His offense ranked top five in both yards and points per game during his first season with the Eagles, and they finished 12th in scoring in his final year in Philly in 2015. Things went far worse for him in San Francisco, as his 49ers went 2-14 a year after Jim Tomsula led the team to a 5-11 record. There haven’t been any official reports of Kelly meeting with a team this offseason, but it wouldn’t be surprising if things ramped up in the coming days if the interest is real.
I have a weird irrational feeling that the Texans are the ones that are going to dethrone the Chiefs. With some personnel tweaks and a new Offensive coaching team, things may look shockingly different than this season.
You and me both.... the script was for the Chiefs this year, but Texans next year.... possibly vs. Commanders
Let's play musical starting QBs TN Darnold (via tag & trade with MN for a 2nd) CLE rookie (Cam Ward) NYG rookie (Sanders) NYJ Cousins (via trade with ATL for conditional 2026 3rd) LV Wilson (sign as a FA & reunite with Pete ... bars) NO? Derek Carr (prolly not going anywhere) PIT Justin Fields Aaron Rogers retire Jameis Winston ???
I'm not a capologist so please forgive me if this is a stupid question but how can we sign free agents or even our own draft picks being that we are already over the cap for 25'?
FWIW from Texas Wire last month: With the Houston Texans on their bye week, let’s take a peek ahead to the 2025 offseason and what their salary cap situation might look like entering Year 3 of the DeMeco Ryans era. According to Over the Cap, the Texans are set to have $12.9 million in cap space at the current moment. That places Houston at 26th overall in space. There are ways for the Texans to create space to bolster additional room in the budget. They could release multiple veterans that would take a minimal cap hit compared to larger than their dead cap hit if it remained on staff. An example of this would be Shaq Mason, who if were to remain on the team, has a cap hit of $14.6 million. If released, his dead cap hit–or money that stays on the books even if cut–is $12.4 million, which feels ample but is minor compared to Laremy Tunsil or Tytus Howard. Two other avenues of creating cap space can come via contract restructures or sometimes even extensions. With a restructure, the team is essentially kicking the salary cap can down the road, by taking current year’s cap charges and pushing them into future contract years. In an extension, with new years added to a current deal, that gives the team an avenue–somewhat like a restructure–to push cap charges to future years, thus helping to lower the current year’s cap hit. In addition to all of that, any unused cap space from the current year is rolled over to the following year. As of now, the Texans have $5.73 million in unused cap space that could be added to their 2025 total. Some money must be allocated to draft picks, but sights would turn to free agency soon after. Would Nick Caserio be willing to spend? Last offseason, Caserio prioritized upgrading from the outside. While Houston extended tight end Dalton Schultz and receiver Nico Collins on three-year deals, it also brought in names like defensive lineman Denico Autry, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, and defensive end Danielle Hunter. Houston also traded for All-Pro receiver Stefon Diggs and Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon for draft picks. Mixon was extended on a three-year deal while Diggs’ previous extension was voided by Caserio before the start of OTAs. Everything is built around C.J. Stroud. The Texans must improve their offensive line if they play to be competitive in 2025. Next offseason will be important in helping the Texans go from being a fringe division leader to a legitimate playoff force.
Mason will be 32 this season and I think his best days are behind him. I think we can get younger and better at BOTH guard spots AND for less money through the draft.
I could definitely get on board with this draft, but I don't know about having 2 rookie OG's. Give me a CB,S, RB in the 4th
That looks like a photo shop to make him seem more racially ambiguous. He looks pretty dweeb tbh. I just want to stop seeing effing transplants at our games. Let’s hope he fixes that. .
