[tweezy32]

Also havent some of the teams in front of us in the draft that we thought could draft Bowers before us sign TEs? So Bowers could be had maybe now unless we get jumped.

Hunter would have been our best edge rusher since Mathis

Except beating us when it mattered, getting better on defense and getting their injured rookie stud WR back.

I think they’re going to be very good, like they were at the end of 2023.  However, seldomly do the big FA players build a super team, no matter what it looks like on paper…

Texans look like a team that are making moves because they want to get back into the playoffs. I’m jelly 

they’re scared.  They were one drive away from not making the playoffs against a team that didn’t have its dynamic rookie qb who handed it to them in 2 quarters the first time they played.

 

yes, I do think this is them making strides to get better, but they see the division just like we do.  This division will be tough.  And right now it’s anyones honestly. 
 

but yeah. Let the Texans do this.  It’s fine.  They need it.

Yeah they are in same boat as us rookie qb contract so they actually going out and signing players while they can before there qb is up!

That  tells you that they saw a huge weakness behind Grover. 

 

Now the weakness is even huger.

Also have to remember their schedule is 3 times harder and they will be the hunted instead of the hunter.

Some fans play madden too much and don’t manage people very often and it shows online… Change of scenery is good for some players, but others not so much. Hunter is a big addition for the Texans on paper, but I’m not sure that it’s as big as people are going to make of it. They lost a locker room guy (Greenhard) to free agency that deserved the money they turned around and paid to an outsider. That can bite you not only in the short term with hurt feelings left in the organization watching their brother be let go, and down the road when key players approach free agency. What a precedent. Looks risky to me. Why you would let your own 26 year old go for a 29 year old and a 2 year deal is wild to me. I don’t see a big enough difference to justify the risks. For those on here that love pff, check the ratings… I think the Vikings won this deal hands down.

Good he won't be a factor on the Texans. He will be the free agent player that got the bag and was a non factor for that team watch!

This is grand cope.

Yep. Would much rather have Greenard than Hunter. 100%.

seems reactionary to me… You either refused to pay your own in Greenhard, or you lost him in free agency, so you took the guy he was replacing on the Vikings.

Blackmon is gone. Just unfollowed the colts on his social medias 

Good!

[IrsaysArmy]

When is Ballard going to add some weapons on offense? Are we supposed to rely on him drafting another WR in the 2nd round. He’s really good at that. 

[Solid84]

Is Greenard still a FA?

 

Nope

no he signed with Vikings which is why they let Hunter go… 

 

hmm

I'd rather have Greenard at $19m than Hunter at $24.5m.

Our offense is good. They will add bowers or WR in the draft. Possibly both. That’s not where our biggest weakness is.

ok ?? nick bosa was non existent vs chiefs good offenses & coordinators can scheme DEs out of games … if AR is who i think he is and shane is to pass rushers won’t matter

garner minshew missed a wide open running back on our on 15 yard line … minshew lol he’s not AR who was on pace to be the ROY easily … texans benefited from his injury the most, texans aren’t that good as they got easily dispatched en the playoffs by a real team

Nick Bosa was destroying the Chiefs with pressure and Mahomes lateral movement when he stepped out the pocket. Mahomes adjusted. AR isn’t Mahomes

Do you think Diontae Johnson was worth trading for? He definitely isn’t.

 Plenty of money to keep him and get another player.

$7m for a backup? Seems steep..

 

 Interesting that you already know how many games this guy will start next season. Grover plays about 600 snaps a season and we were a laughing stock when Johnson played. And my apologies to his friends and family.

 Bryan wasn't abysmal all the time but not good.

 And $7M is fine for a veteran with 48 career starts in 4 seasons. It's better depth up the gut that we really needed.

Josh Allen will be doing the same thing for the Bills.

I think I'm about done with Ballard and his obsession with mediocre trench players. When you are this obsessed with the trenches one would think at least our OL and DL would be amazing. We are paying 40M+ for our DTs. What are we talking about? Is this 2024 or 1974? 

 

I would have signed Davis, and let Grover walk. Half the money, shorter contract, similar player/production.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and predict that you’re gonna disagree with every move Ballard makes this year.
