As for your scenario, it is great fun to imagine all the riches we can get for Mario. I am sure when the team makes a decision they will know whether he can be flipped for multiple 1st round picks or desean Jackson. And I am sure that will all be a consideration in the process.

I guess I should have been more clear with my comment. I forgot the and/or and meant to say if they can sign one or more of those guys. I don't think it's that far fetched to say they could use that ~$8MM to sign a combo of Meyers, Brisel and/or Dressen. Maybe Foster's out of that equation depending on what they want to do with his contract this year.
As for trading Mario for Jackson, I'm not the one who brought it up and was merely playing along in the thread. Do I think that trade would ever go down? Hell no! Mostly likely none of these player/player trades would ever go down and certainly not one for two major players (let alone two F-Tag players). Realistically, I think the Texans will be lucky if they can get a low 2012 #1, or a player and a pick, or two #2's for Mario.
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I'd like to see them try to get Cobb and a #2 from GB. I think that would be a realistic trade and I think GB is in a situation where they'd have to think long and hard about it. I also think GB is a team Mario would be receptive to being traded to since they're pretty damn good. I know they (at least, currently) run a 3-4, but their D was so bad last year I could see them making some changes and I don't think they'd pass up a pass-rushing defensive talent like Mario. Especially for the price of Cobb and a low #2.
Anyway, who knows what will happen? It's still fun to speculate and throw out names and be a pocket GM/Capologist for a day.
