I agree with that and hopefully that's what happens. Should know shortly.

Interesting article here on Weddle's agent during the time when the Texans were pursuing his client.

6:15 PM: Canter goes on a Houston radio station to discuss Weddle's availability. Minutes later, he hears from the Houston Texans for the first time. They're now in the hunt, too.

9:24 PM: The Chargers send their first e-mail in regards to Weddle and Canter's not thrilled with their numbers. He goes back and forth with McGuire for the next several hours.
