Whomp, whomp. More depth I guess

The #Texans have agreed to a deal with S/CB/ST Lonnie Johnson Jr. per a source close to the situation. Johnson was a very key member of a solid #Saints special team unit. Johnson was drafted to Houston a few years back in the Bill O Brien era. Johnson was moved around a lot…

 

Houston has done really well with their cheap one year signings recently

Nick Caserio is an average at best GM. His deficiencies are being exposed today. Big fail. Caserio is the anchor that’s holding this team back. Huge disappointment.

Former #Giants star RB Saquon Barkley is planning to sign with the #Eagles, per me and @MikeGarafolo. The former Penn St weapon lands in-state at a rival of the #Giants and stays in the NFC East. He’ll see his former team twice a year.

I'm more than happy that we aren't paying top-dollar for Saquon

Former Giants RB Saquon Barkley reached agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million contract that could be worth up to $46.75M and includes $26M fully guaranteed at signing, per sources.Barkley now beats the franchise tag number and has a maximum…

There’s the Icono overreaction that we all know and love. 

This is a bad day for the Texans. No way to spin it. We are fucked if we don’t sign King Henry if we are serious about improving the RB position. The Eagles are the best run organization in the NFL and they signed Saquon. We were too cheap to spend $4 more million to measure up. Horrible day.

I'd rather us invest in our OL and keep throwing scrub RBs back there than invest a chunk of change in Saquon with very little up front to keep him healthy. 

#364

The team knows Greenard better than anyone else. I'm not an appeal to authority guy, but when teams let their own guys walk, they're usually correct. Houston might get a good comp pick down the line

Wilkins ending up in a four team auction among teams with cap space, and at some point you have to walk away when the most desperate team keeps matching offers

I didn't love the idea of Saquon and I'm a bit alarmed Houston even gave him a competative offer, but I'm guessing DeMeco wanted him. Houston should be able to find good RB production for much cheaper in this offense, and also has a chance to draft a good fit like Ray Davis 

There will be second and third tier options out there at various positions who'll provide surplus value once teams start using up most their cap space, and the team will be deeper going after those options since it couldn't land the top of the market guys

How have we not learned that RB is the easiest position to fill in the NFL. The learning curve is very small. You either have the natural running instincts or don't.  Obviously blocking is important as well but nearly as much as it used to be with the modernization of the NFL passing game. 

I'm glad Barkley got paid and want all RBs to do well financially in their careers. But if your goal is to win Super Bowls and manage the salary cap, the best thing to do offensively is find cheaper options at RB.

Yes. There should be plenty of options on a manageable contract.

Vikings are signing LB Blake Cashman to a three-year deal worth up to $25.5 million. (via @TomPelissero + @rapsheet)

FUCK YOU CASERIO. This one hurts bad. Our 2 best defensive players last year are now gone. Still think this GM doesn’t suck.

 

#373

Too much for Greenard. Way too much for Wilkins. I hope the organization knows something about Greenard that’s not public information, but not tagging him is puzzling.

Hunter won’t take a hometown discount, but he’s from Katy.

The 3rd overall pick in the 2020 draft now with 3rd team. Okudah ruptured his Achilles tendon in 2021 season opener, traded to Falcons before last season. https://t.co/tuht71fjhC

The most underrated defender in this free-agency class, regardless of position. https://t.co/KF9oygtbHz

 

#378

The Packers are in similar position to us and they are making the fucking moves to get to the top of their conference while we sit with our dicks in our hands.

Another splash for the #Packers: They are expected to sign #Giants S Xavier McKinney, sources say. He gets a 4-year deal worth $68M in a deal done by @DavidMulugheta of @AthletesFirst .

Autry is a nice depth piece but when is Caserio going to stop with these 1 year bargain basement FA deals. That’s not how you build a team that’s ready to contend. 

#380
Assuming they didn’t break the bank, one of the better signings for today. Perfect fit scheme wise and adds an experienced vet to a young up and coming team. https://t.co/kRC2Jk7OT1

The plane is crashing in the mountain 

The #Giants are signing former #Bills and #Texans RB Devin Singletary, reuniting him with Brian Daboll and getting him as the replacement for Saquon Barkley, per multiple reports.

LMAO. Good for Motor. 

We clearly have something up our sleeve at RB. 

#385
#Texans update:P Cam Johnston is headed to the #SteelersRB Devin Singletary is headed to the #Giants.

We lost our punter too.

#389

Yeah, Johnston was OK, but the Texans have 3 7ths this draft.  I would rather see them spend one of those on a new Punter and have him locked into a 4 year 2m deal, than a 2.5m apy deal.

#390
This is a pretty good signing for the #Texans to get the veteran pass rusher. Yes he’s 33, but had 11.5 sacks last yr with the Titans & has been consistent in his career. 2 yr 10 mil is a safe deal.Now if you get Arik Armstead, the defense line is looking pretty good. https://t.co/2m7jcUrsoa

Damn it this is bad. This guy is versatile as hell

There's still a dozen good starter level safeties out there. It'll be interesting to see which Houston signs

Did we do a complete medical? It used to be such that an Achilles rupture for a DB was a career ending injury.

#394

What many don’t realize is that the big Texans’ cap space is somewhat an illusion. Much of it was on account of the 36 free agents they had. That’s a lot of roster spots to fill. Who knows if Caserio’s short contract strategy will work long term. It’s worked for the Astros but this is way more extreme

It’s a shitty, stupid way to build a championship roster. No team that is a championship contender hands out as many 1 year contracts as the Texans
