Ya, McClain was on 610 this morning saying, due to the Texans high cap, "NO WAY" could they sign Aso much to the chagrin of Vandermeer and Lopez. Lopez countered that it sounded like the Texans couldn't sign anyone (no Joseph, no Taylor, etc.)... To this, McClain hemmed and hawed a bit and said well they could probably sign one of the lower tier CB's.... 610 used McClain's speculations as a point of conversation all day all the way into the afternoon show with Rich Lord and Doofus Boy. (I would also like to say I respect McClain's work - he does a lot of work, most of the time he furnishes info that checks out fine. I also respect the way he deals with his many, sometimes unfair critics.....JMO).
McClain may end up being right but I've heard and read an equal amount to the contrary. Lance Zierlein has said the Texans "are a lock" to sign a top CB. There was the Peter King comment urging the Texans to go after Nnamdi although PK may not know a thing about the Texans cap.... There was Kubes grinning like a possum on NFLN when asked about AJ contacting Aso to come play for the Texans.... All this puts me in the camp that says they are going to make a strong bid for Nnamdi Asomugha.... They may not end up getting him, but maybe they'll do better than projected and get a Joseph or a Taylor....
I would go for this one and only one big signing and go with a bunch of vet minimum guys to fill out the roster... Try to hang onto Leach, restructure here, let one of JJ/Butler go there, yada, yada.... Aso would be so good for the young secondary....
