Did we do enough to woo Mario Williams?

Texans aren't gonna let him walk away, plus we can't afford him.

They might have no choice. If they franchise him, no team will trade for him, and he will walk the next year. Unless they sign him long-term, I don't think Mario will be a Texan for much longer. (I have a feeling he will want to go to a 4-3 team)

As for not being able to afford him, I think we could arrange some things, and perhaps he will give us a hometown discount.

Put it this way, the smart money is betting on him staying.

Also, I don't know how much he would want to be in a 4-3. He had 5 sacks in 5 games this season before getting hurt. Also, he plays the same position as Demarcus Ware, so there is going to be major opportunities to rush the passer.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a wolfpack guy and I would love to have him, but I just don't think its happening.

We already have "big money" locked into the DE position as it is.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
