Amobi Okoye to be traded/released by the Texans

[Swarly]

Could be a good pickup. He's been a bust thus far, but he's only 24 and we could use all the help we need on the DL. He would probably be cheap, too.

thats okoybyme...

[CatfanMO]

So you are calling him a bust and suggesting the need to pick him up in the same post?

yes

he's only 24, was picked like #7 overall, and he will be cheap. at worst we bring him to camp, he flops, and we cut him before week one. at best he figures out what went wrong and we have a starting interior linemen.

we desperately need interior linemen

[PantherBrew]

He is a bad fit for the 3-4.

[Carolina Crazy V2]

I want.

Career reviving.

I agree if he wouldnt demand a huge contract. I always find myself wanting to take chances on players like these..Sometimes you look like a genius, other times you say you tried.

[bleys]

I'd take him..

[CarolinaNut]

he's been nothing but a bust...why would you want him?!?

[Panthercougar68]

Didn't the kid just turn 20 after he was drafted. You might have the body but I still think that's a little young to be drafted. Another player that was drafted young that had a hard time...Dwayne J.......

Anyway I think it would be interesting none the less

By the standards of the num 7 pick overall, he has been a bust, and the expected him to be a sack machine which most DT's not named Ndamukong Suh aren't. Quietly had a solid year last year, 44 Tackles and 3 sacks, not mindblowing by any stretch, but he is still only 24 and with the right coaching could become a good starter. Hes being released by the texans bc they are moving to a 3-4 def and he isn't really a NT, while he could play DE in a 3-4 he isn't really geared for that. He was scheduled to make over $3 Mill this year, thats a lot to play a DE in a system that features LB's. The only one who really ever gets paid on the DL in a 3-4 is the NT.

[CatMan72]

Yup, would take this guy if the price is right (and low)

[teeray]

some of you guys act like we should just wait for a Suh to fall to the waiver wire. This guy has a fugpoo of talent even if he has underachieved. if you can get him on the cheap he is a great risk v/ award pick up.
