I hope he doesn't so I can watch this @Macklemore boomer completely shit all over himself on the internet like my grandfather trying to make a facebook post. 

I’m a boomer and I have no trouble making a post on FB every damn day,  Your grandfather’s shortcomings are probably due to his dementia.

.@mattbarrows of the @TheAthletic reporting that Houston and San Francisco initially had a trade package set for Arik Armstead for Maliek Collins but the deal fell through.

 

So per that Athletic guy, this was a potential backup plan deal for in the event that Houston missed on Hunter

Let that be a fucking lesson…

Cutting Jimmie Ward would save $3.8MM this year so there’s a little more available if you want to upgrade at more of a center fielder type than a close-to-the line guy. I’m not as down on Pitre as a lot of people, I think if you can put him in a hybrid LB/safety role he can be a playmaker.
 

Cutting Robert Woods adds $5.5MM to that total, so if you want to upgrade Ward there’s $9.3MM available on top of the $21.55 listed above. If you cut Woods you probably want to draft a WR in the first three rounds, which I’d like to do regardless….

Regarding Jimmie Ward, institutional knowledge is important for DBs in this Fangio based defense. Ward can play both safety spots and nickel, and even if he goes into the season as a backup, I think they could keep him around

Jacksonville is doing the wasting Andrew Luck in Indianapolis thing, and Tennessee traded away a star WR and then fired an above average head coach and appear to have an unhinged owner. Indianapolis has a good GM and head coach, but might have an injury prone QB and aren't quite the dumpster fire that the other two are, but it feelsgoodman that half of our division appears to be poorly run for the foreseeable future 

#611

Supposedly Houston was worried about Collins' medicals going forward

Sources: #Texans hosting #Bills free agent defensive tackle Tim Settle Jr. for a visit today after Maliek Collins trade to #49ers, Sheldon Rankins signing with #Bengals on two-year, $26 million deal @KPRC2 https://t.co/s6byY0m4zp

#Texans decided to move on from Maliek Collins over the weekend, per sources, and attempted to execute a player-for-player trade for #49ers Arik Armstead, who wasreleased. #Texans have mutual interest with Armstead, per sources, with #Bills and other teams also interested @KPRC2 https://t.co/PzRA9ZUvf2
Tim Settle Jr. (6-3, 313), who's visiting #Texans and has interest from multiple teams, had a five-sack season when he was playing for Washington franchise, operated in more of a stay-home scheme with #Bills Has played in NFL for six seasons, but just 26 years old @KPRC2 https://t.co/PzRA9ZUvf2
#Texans negotiated with Sheldon Rankins and offered $12 million annually, per sources, before he ultimately reached two-year, $26 million deal with #Bengals following a six-sack season for AFC South champions @KPRC2 https://t.co/PzRA9ZUvf2

A dark horse emerges: The #Jaguars are closing in on a deal to add a huge presence to their defense, as they are set to sign former #49ers DT Arik Armstead, sources say.

 

#617

Russinni didn’t mention houston, and this chronic guy says Houston didn’t give an offer

I reported here that the Texans expressed interest but didn’t make an offer when he became a free agent. Armstead is now on his way to Jaguars https://t.co/AH4oWXaWOC

 

#618

Fuck. We don’t have a starter at all for DT now. I really don’t get the Collins trade if we didn’t have a deal for Armstead. We are stuck with having to make a trade or hoping to land Byron Murphy, T’Sweat or Braden Fiske in the draft. I wanted us to draft a playmaker in the top rounds for the offense. Now we are forced to draft DT. Don’t like this at all.

This is my shocked face.

They’ll sign a couple of guys with the money they didn’t spend on armstead and cobble together a rotstion, and it’ll be fine

I don’t think this necessarily means they’ll go interior DL in the first if there are better players on the board

I agree. The same thing happened last year when we brought in Rankins, Collins, and lifetime Longhorn Ridgeway.

#623

I don’t think Caserio was ever going to pay this much 

BREAKING: Free agent DL Arik Armstead is signing a 3-year, $51M contract with the #Jaguars, sources tell @BleacherReport.Armstead now joins a stout Jacksonville pass rush next to Josh Allen and Travon Walker. “Sacksonville” 2.0?!

 

#624
#Lions strike a two-year, $27.25 million maximum value deal with former #Bengals #Texans defensive tackle D.J. Reader, per a league source @KPRC2

 

#625

Yeah I’m not too worried; there are still rotational pieces left in FA, plus the draft will shake loose a few veterans; there’s also June 1st cuts and the trade market. Agree with the above that this doesn’t mandate that we take an DT in Round 1.

 

I’d say QB and DE are off the table because of existing talent on the roster, LB, S, RB, and TE because of a combo of positional value and the talent in this particular draft. That leaves WR, OL, DT, and CB - I’m good with BPA from that group, and there’s some good options there. This is a crazy-deep WR group…

 

EDIT - No way in hell we were going $17/year for AA. Good for him, and good for us. I like where we are right now, time to move on to the draft…

The #Texans are signing DT Tim Settle to a two-year deal, according to @AaronWilson_NFL

 

New Texans RB Joe Mixon now has signed a three-year, $27 million contract extension that includes $13 million guaranteed from Houston, per source.

 

#627

Texans had to settle

#Texans new defensive tackle Tim Settle deal is two years, max value of $7 million, per league source @KPRC2

 

#629

I don’t think DE is necessarily off the table. When in doubt, you can always add pass rushers 

#630
Just got off my weekly appearance on Texans Radio, and I’ll tell you what I told them: We got to see the Texans’ new uniforms today, and I think they’re spectacular. The unveiling for fans will be at the draft.

Joe Mixon? I thought this was a nice Christian organization and they got some dumb gooner that sucker punched a girl?

Oh no, that's terrible. I worked with Fred in a past life. He was super kind and a fun guy to hang out with.

Pretty funny guy. Never looked really healthy. My wife and I were at Christian’s Tailgate during a live broadcast, and my wife was laughing her ass off in the background. RIP. 

#637

The Mixon contract is more of a "why was this needed?" than a "that's a bad contract!". I guess they wanted a known quantity for the next three years (they can walk away free after two years, and walk away with a medium sized hit after one year). 

He never fumbles, gets the yards blocked for him plus one, and at times creates yards that aren't blocked

Draft him on your fantasy teams, he's going to be a workhorse

TRADE! The Minnesota Vikings are moving up in the draft. They will trade with the Houstons Texans. Minnesota will get the 23rd and 232nd pick….Houston will get the 42nd, 188th and 2nd in 2025

Just super. Weeks of #23 pick speculation down the tubes. 
 

I always question draft pick moves so far in advance when teams don’t know who is on the board at the time of the pick.

Eh, I don’t love it. All the good corners and DTs are going to be gone at 42. 
 

Feels like the Vikings robbed us.

I doubt they trade back because Caserio has never done it before. 
 

I think they’ll make noise about moving up during the first round and stick/pick. Best DT or CB available. 

Oops

You do this trade if you think your first round grades are gone by pick 23 (teams typically have anywhere from 10-20 first round grades), and you have a cluster of players tiered together where you're confident at least one will still be on the board at 42

There will still be very good players available at 42, and likely some at the premium positions 

Some of the players on this list in the 30s (or maybe even late 20s) will likely be there at 42

For those freaking out about IDL

DT room has Foley, Denico, Khalil Davis, McTelvin Agim, Kurt Hinish and Settle. https://t.co/tNslHbDcqm

 

#649
Good deal for Houston. Why would Minnesota do this?Two possible theories could be:1. They like a second-tier QB BUT think pick 11 is rich for that player AND are afraid they can't trade down efficiently from 11 to 20s?or2. They want to trade up to top 3 and think trade…

 

#650

I don't fully agree with this because WR should have been on the table, but I would also add that there could potentially be a small run on QBs at the top of the second round too 

For the Texans, one of the realities for them in the draft in play is that there are going to be so many OTs and WRs taken early in the draft, pushing other positions down the board.Houston has its bookend tackles already, plus two building block WRs in Nico Collins and Tank…
