Defense may be decimated

We're also going to lose Gilmore, Bouye, Jackson and Reddick. If we lose Reddick and Burns there goes the majority of our pass rush. Losing Gilmore, Bouye, and Jackson would be losing three of our top 4 CBs. Losing Chinn would be losing our best all around defender.

Make no mistake about it, our D would be GUTTED.

People are obsessing over a player that never took his previous team with a better capital situation to the Super Bowl. If we land him he will get suspended then hurt behind our terrible OL.

No, I think the concern is that we are losing a ton of young talent that was only going to get better. There would be no foundational defensive pieces to speak of at that point, which says a lot considering the draft investment.

Burns has had 3 years and he is still the same dude.. he can get some sacks and get absolutely destroyed in the run game.  Brown was over drafted and will never live up to where he was picked. 

I would rather keep Chinn and Horn.

I agree, but the Texans may also feel the same way and demand Chinn and Horn to get the deal done. That would be pretty devastating in terms of building a defense going forward.

last year we were the number two ranked defense.

burns and chinn's production was marginal at best and can easily be replaced in free agency without a dropoff (again, based on what their production last year contributed to the unit as a whole.)

bouye is a JAG.

horn is returning, effectively negating the loss of either gilmore or jackson.

so at most assuming we draft or sign comparable players production wise (won't be hard) we're at worst last years number two defense minus a CB.

really not as big of a deal as folks are suggesting.

Super Bowl? The Texans only won a single playoff game with Watson.

He's going from bad to worse in every way imaginable from a football perspective.  But somehow it's going to be better here?

I can't wait to see how this works out Tepper.
