Wade really expects Mario to be the Texans' DeMarcus Ware

[Joshua]

I admittedly don't know enough about Wade's defense to know whether this will work or not. However, from what I've seen and heard, Mario was not keen on playing DE in a 3-4 in his final contract year. Based on the timing, etc., I'm inclined to think this move had as much to do with mollifying Mario's concerns as anything.
