But again, lots of activity left, and that was based on 2010 estimates. Should know more in the coming weeks.

Ok so if that were the case and I'm not really good with this cap thing at all I must admit but I'm guesstimating that if the Texans have to spend 95% that would mean that they would HAVE to at least spend $21MMish? If that's the case a Nnamdi Asumogha figure of 15-19 per year does seem plausible? Let alone if they got closer towards their cap figure then an Eric Weddle also could be do-able? I guess it all depends on the market. Heard the Bucs would have to spend a lot under this scenario too.
I honestly believe though and I'm trying not to get overly excited here but I believe sincerely that their intentions are to bring Asumogha and Sensabaugh to Houston. If that were the case I couldn't be more ecstatic. Can't wait for this freaking deal to get done. I'm just trying to keep the fingers crossed man!
And though its debatable if money spent this way on one player is even the right move (mainly because we could allocate that funding to bring more players maybe) I complete beg to differ. This guy is the final piece to the puzzle in my opinion. Adding him will not only give veteran presence but a real veteran presence of showing the others saying hey this is how the best does it. Additionally we don't know the potential we have in Brandon Harris, and Kareem Jackson's development (though I'm not expecting much of him). Throw that in with the potential that one of the following corners (R.Carmichael, B.McCain, S.McMannis, A.Molden, J.Allen) blossoms maybe and we may have solutions and not problems anymore in our secondary. Wishful thinking probably. But I'd like the chances of them flourishing with a guy like Nnamdi there guiding them instead of a Joseph, Cromartie or anybody else. Again just my opinion.
Let's get er done though Houston!
