Winston no puff of smoke

[Keith]

Great job by our local media in (1) sniffing out that the Texans were even negotiating with Winston and (2) being so close to the team that they break the news. No, wait. Neither of those things happened.

Seriously, the Texans ought to be in negotiations with as many as three other key players as well - Owen Daniels, DeMeco Ryans, and Dunta Robinson.

I'm glad Winston is locked up. The price isn't cheap, but I doubt this will be a move the team will regret. More contract info from the Chronicle:

His deal includes a $6 million signing bonus and $10 million in guarantees.

fyi - Winston, like many former 'Canes, has Drew Rosenhaus for an agent. Rosenhaus gets flack from fans for some of his antics, but he seems to be a pretty solid agent when the TV cameras aren't looking.
