    This was posted at profootballtalk.com and also by a poster at orangebloods.com so take it for what its worth....

    RUMORS FLY OF CARR-FOR-RICKY TRADE

    On Monday, we surmised that the Texans have floated the notion that they intend to select USC tailback Reggie Bush with the No. 1 pick in the draft in order to avoid criticism from the Longhorns lovers that the lure of playing for his hometown Texans prompted Texas quarterback Vince Young to skip his senior season. (A reader also raised with us another solid possibility -- that the report was a trial balloon aimed at determining what the local reaction would be to not taking Young -- and we're told that the local reaction was decidedly negative.)

    But the Bush report also might have been intended to throw potential focus off of rumors that are now emerging -- and these are rumors only -- of a looming trade between the Texans and Dolphins.

    Under the deal, as we've heard it, the Texans would send quarterback David Carr to Miami for running back Ricky Williams (a former Longhorn) and a third-round draft pick.

    Williams is under contract through 2007. Carr is due to receive an $8 million option bonus in February, which would extend his contract through 2008.

    Again, these are rumors only -- and we're not suggesting that this trade will go down. But if it should happen it clears the way for the Texans to select Young.

    Stay tuned.

    I'd want more than TPS and a third and I'm sure we could get it.

    I doubt it's going to happen, but I wouldn't be upset in the slightest if it did.

    This has been going around for nearly a week. There's no truth to it.

    I like the deal. It enables us to have two potentially AWESOME running backs. If Ricky returned to college form (he'd have to lay off the drugs), and was put in Kubiak's system...imagine the results. We always have Domanick anyways. Plus, this enables us to draft Vince Young. And we get a third rounder that enables us to grab another lineman or a good Tight End for Young.

    But we can all hope! :D


    Either way, their reasoning for us declaring we'd pick Reggie Bush is kind of interesting, and it gives me hope. From what I heard, we haven't even evaluated Vince Young yet because we thought he'd return to school. That gives me even further hope. I trust all that is almighty that Bob McNair is not an airhead, and I'm pretty sure he's not...

    No kidding - Ive got season tickets next year if Cass can swing this deal.

    Miami needs a solid QB and they already have a stud in the making in Ronnie Brown. I think its a win-win situation for both teams, and that Ricky Williams is worth the risk.

    This was made up by some poster on scout.com. This isn't true and won't ever happen.

    I would bet the Texans front office is watching the publics reaction to their moves VERY closely.

    At the end of the day, they are in it to make money......it is a business.

    One player gives them more business....that is why I think they have no real choice.

    This completely excludes the fact that the team WINNING would make them the most money. If the team really believes that their decisions, and not the overall opinion of the public, will result in the most wins, then that is what they will do, public outcry be damned.

    Funny. The same people who hate Kobe because he is selfish and not a team player, would like to have Ricky Williams. The all time quitter.

    Nah, theres no bias around here. :rolleyes:
