Pretty much all of the initial news is teams re-signing their own players, including apparently Tampa and Shaq Barrett.

 

Speaking of Shaq's...

...it wasn't through free-agency but Texans traded for Shaq Lawson who played at Clemson with Deshaun Watson.

Lawson promptly reached out to Watson through social media and posted a photo in instagram which was captioned with:

"Getting the band back together."

Gonna get interesting!

I think the Texans are going after players they think can help the team and also keep Watson in the fold.  It may just be me, but it seemed Watson relationship started to sour with Texans when his college and Texans teammate Deandre Hopkins was traded.  The Texans may feel if they can add 2 or 3 ex-Tigers to the team, maybe Watson may tone down the rhetoric and opt to play for them.

Ehh, that Jonnu Smith deal makes it look a lot less likely we can sign Henry to a cap-friendly deal.  

Happy for Cam though.

I always thought that we should try and sign Gerald Everett a little cheaper, and rely on the draft.

Everett will see that ridiculous contract Smith got and think he can get the same. Just trade for Njoku

I'll take Njoku! I'd think that Everett's money would be a helluva lot closer to Njoku's than Smith's though. It'll be interesting to see.

Nah, we only overpay for average O-linmen FAs.  As for TE?  We will wait until there's nothing left and have to re-sign Manhertz if he's still around.  Remember, we signed that Seahawks castoff. Superb Owl!

Shaq Lawson will not keep Watson in Houston, not even a thought. That trade was all about fit for both teams. McKinney fits better in Miamis scheme, whil Lawson will help transform Houston from a 34 scheme to a 43 scheme under Lovie Smith. McKinney agent is actually the guy who pursued and found the trade partner as McKinney was about to be cut as a non-fit in the Lovie scheme

      Icky Contract Extension

      Seeing as how we have paid stupid contracts to the likes of Matt Kalil in the past, I have no problem giving Icky his contract he has earned

      Hell, "average at best," in pass pro is a low key bashing. Hell, he still can't get recognition for being average for arguably the most important part of his job.

      recovery is largely pure luck and how the ball bounces.   Putting the ball on the ground at a high rate is a bad thing.  Maybe QB A fumbles 10 times a year and QB B fumbles 3 times a year.  QB B loses all 3 of his.  QB A somehow has 8 of his recovered in a quirky year.  QB A is still the bigger risk/red flag going forward.  and again, Bryce has a high fumble rate.......and isn't holding the ball looking for big pass plays, willingly putting his body in play, carrying a large load on his shoulders, or big yardage producer.  It's one of his clear negative qualities.  Just a reality.  At this rate, the Bryce squad is going to start arguing him being tiny is actually an advantage lol.  and imagine if we play magical cherry picks with other players.  Take the last 17 games. That would make sense.  Season worth of games.   Bryce has 6 fumbles lost vs CJ's 1 fumble lost.  CJ while doing that, is carry a bigger load on his shoulders as well.
