Sure, he's no longer what he once was but he'll still be a very effective player for someone. We all know something about Houston too. They're currently the biggest dumpster fire in the NFL and possibly all of professional sports.

True--if this were not Houston, I would be saying, "He must be done."  But since it is Houston, you really do not know.  I am so happy I am not a Texan fan.

would love him on the Panthers but I don't think he'd like to go to another wannabe team. he should go to the Bucs, Rams, Chiefs, Bills, Packers, would be my choice if I were him. In that order.

He is still young, so that could mean he sees the upside here.  I would want to be part of the growth, not some team that brings in ex-Patriots to win rings.

He's only 31, but man he has a ton of wear and tear on him. The way he plays takes a toll on the body. I think he'sdone as an elite DL but he'll still be a good player for someone.

He asked for it according to him. Holy poo Houston must be toxic.

And Allen was very good for us for a little while.

Dang, never saw this coming...

[thefuzz]

Can't say I blame him for asking.

Smart move.  He likely wants to get 1 more deal under his belt.

He said he wants to go to Tampa

6th rounder to the Bears for Watts and they kept most of his contract--and we only paid about $900K of his salary, while the Bears took on the rest, but his salary was about $12m back then and he was a one-dimensional, situational pass rusher.  It was a great deal for us.  We could take Watt on a deal like that, but it ain't happening.  My point was the amount of $$$ pass rushers past their primes make--we can't afford to get into that kind of a bidding war.  We need to develop Burns and Gross-Matos and the other young ones--they are entering their primes, in my opinion.

Tampa is going to be really annoying for the next couple of years.

this makes me want to just slow roll this rebuild. We won’t be able to compete against Tampa until the all star squad is done

They've known this for a while. There was some expectation he would be traded but...
