QB Brink, LB Coley, OT Dedrick Released

[Keith]

The Texans released QB Alex Brink, LB Kevis Coley and T Doug Dedrick today. I suppose they might be doing this to make room for draft pick signings.

So I guess Brink really didn't look much better from last season after all. Makes me wonder if a fourth QB will be added to roster before camp.

btw, the Aggie punter Justin Brantly was released last Thursday.

That'd be my guess too. The last few weeks I've been noticing teams releasing a spattering of three or four players and then announcing a group of draft pick signings within days. I'm guessing we'll have all but Cushing and Barwin signed by the end of the week.

What is the number, 80 on the roster when training camp starts? And only 80 more days to the first game with NYJ on Sept. 13, and Texans best year yet.

I was a little surprized they released Brantley, maybe giving him a chance to tryout elsewhere.

We have 5 unsigned draft picks and Dunta is unsigned. So that is 6 roster spots that will have to be cleared when these guys sign.

If my count is correct we currently have 83 guys on the official sites roster. So 3 more guys to cut precamp.

Yes, and good point to mention Dunta. Anyone catch the news about Peppers signing? I wonder if that might be something of a harbinger for Robinson.

[personal note to dunta]Face it, dude. If the team doesn't want to pay you, they don't have to. We luvs ya, but you gotta complain to your union about it and then get ready for camp.[/personal note to dunta]

I didn't think that they would dump Coley, I really liked him last year.
