Houston Texans

Tuesday Sep 7th, 2010

Continuing the overpaying of free agents, the Texans have signed former Cardinals DE Antonio Smith to a 5 year $35 million deal with $12.5 million guaranteed. Smith is solid and has good versatility to play end and tackle, but is not a $7 per million per year difference maker for the Texans. He will be a good contributor but in years to come the cost of the deal will affect the view of his play... The Broncos just won't quit.. they have now added former Browns LB Andra Davis with a 2 year deal and Colts DT Darrell Reid to a 3 year deal, he will play end in the Broncos 3-4 defense. They have also signed Texans restricted free agent WR David Anderson to a 3 year $4.5 million offer sheet. The Texans have a week to match it. Former Eagles safety Brian Dawkins also signed his name on the dotted line to a 5 year deal worth $17 million that could go up to $27 million or void to a 2 year deal for $9 million according to Adam Schefter. What a start to free agency for the Mile High team... Texans safety Eugene Wilson dipped a top into free agency and then quickly re-signed with the Texans for 3 years and over $11 million. Good decision for both sides... The Texans have released DE Anthony Weaver, safety Will Demps and tackle Ephraim Salaam. Weaver was a solid starter but the team is expected to look for someone who can add some more pass rush opposite Mario Williams... The Texans have agreed to trade backup QB Sage Rosenfels to the Vikings for a 4th round pick. Hmnn he did ok filling in for Matt Schaub, but this was their big move at quarterback? Ugh. Jeff Garcia would have been a great signing but Childress is hanging his job on a competition of backups, good luck with that...
