The Texans want at least three first round picks, plus two other assets (either players or high picks).

With multiple teams interested, why should they lower their demands?

They should lower their demands if there demands are not met. There is a chance their demands will not be met at that asking price. I thought that was sort of clear.

With multiple bidders? Including several with way more trade ammunition than us?

Not likely.

If he's willing to sign off on it I fully expect it to happen. This is the type of move that could legit save Rhule's job. If it happens I'll definitely be conflicted. Elite QB? Check. But, oh man... definite baggage. Also, if it happens I'll be pissed Rhule knee jerk fired Brady because I would've liked to have seen him get a chance to work with an actual NFL QB before getting scapegoated.

The better question is why would any team want to pay this? If he had zero baggage, ok. But with 10 criminal counts pending and his civil case being a PR nightmare, how in the world do you fork over that kind of collateral with zero assurances in the contract that he gets to play? The only reason Goodell didn't put him on the exempt list is he didn't have to because the Texans had no intentions of playing him. When the press and activists get involved he'll have no choice but to put him on the exempt list until a thorough investigation has been concluded.

Yep. He guaranteed 72M over the next two years. And he still hasn’t been suspended. If Jamies got 3 games for touching an Uber driver, what’s Deshaun Cosby going to get? Best case half a season. That’s a tough sell without giving up anything.

General expectation is that nothing will happen until there's at least some resolution on the criminal charges.

Some teams might be willing to deal with the lawsuits, probably looking for conditions like Ross did in Miami. But others (i.e. the dumb ones) will take the risk and jump in.

Here's to hoping we're not that dumb.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
