Default Should the Texans sign LT

I thought I would throw this out since everyone is bored and waiting for the draft. If LT is cut, should the Texans sign him?

No, he will be too expensive. He would be great in Dallas. Plastic face will sign him and he can have Barber, LT and Jones. That is something he would do.

Why would we want to spend huge dollars on a RB when we can get cheaper options in FA or the draft?

The type of money LT wants would better be spent on fixing our defense.

I say build from threw the draft. Only supplement when you have gotten to the play offs and you need to take the next step.

But remember the Cowboys have gone backwards since they started thinking they needed this big FA or that one to make the next step.

Normally I would agree that you build in the draft and that RBs particular are easy to find without spending money. But the atlanta falcons were in the playoffs this year thanks to signing a young back to a big contract. I still wouldn't sign LT under any circumstance, because the wear and tear and age suggest he is on the decline, but I wouldn't say it's a "never" situation to sign a big FA RB.

It comes down to the same thing as any other player acquisition (draft, FA, trade, etc), regardless of how you get a player, pick the right one.
