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.

    • Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet. 
    • Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.     
    • I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
