What team out there would give the Texans what they would want for OD, which I assume would be a #1 or #2? I don't see any... Maybe for a player and a mid-to-low round pick, but depending on the player, I'm not sure that really helps the team this year or beyond.
I think TexanJedi brought up trading for Glenn Dorsey. I could see a fit with OD and the Chiefs, but does Dorsey help us? Would you do that??

With Dressen, Casey, & blocking-TE Hill besides OD, we are really "too deep" at TE and with this over-commitment of precious resources at a single posiiton we should be able to part with OD for the right price, which has got to be nothing less that a high 2nd round pick or the equivalent in a combo of players/lower round pick(s). OD just gets better and better all of the time and his performance yesterday was one of his best, but his market value may get too high for us to keep him given the needs we have elsewhere, especially on defense ?

Correct me if I am wrong, but if no CBA is reached (which appears unlikely) both OD & Demeco will be RFA's next year. I would assume that they would be tendered the max & we have a chance to match whatever offer they get. If I am right, then why should they do anything? He/they wouldn't be able to leave without compensation & they could get them cheaper for another year.
Do that, negotiate a "fair" deal for Dunta (not bank breaking), and live happily ever....for another season.

Correct me if I am wrong, but with no CBA next year Robinson and Daniels would no longer be tethered to the Texans and could sign with whom they please for whatever deal they could get, and no compensation for us. Is that not so? I would really hate to lose both of them.

Atleast for now, I think you try hard to keep your good players if possible, it is so hard to find the good ones as we've seen over the past 7 to 8 years.
I know CBA's, economy, injuries all play into it, but I'd hate to see any of the three guys OD, Demeco, or Dunta go. Seems they are all performing at a pretty high level. The player agreement expiring could make it tricky, especially if there is lockout or mass holdouts. Even the teams record this year likely plays into it. Are we 10-8 or just average again? I do not think 5 big ones(millions) a year is much for any of these guys in current pay scales as compare to what other teams paying similar guys. Maybe more. The guarantee part is the tough part. And if they can work it out now, before all those questions arise, that would be a good thing as well for Texans.

That sounds contradictory to me. With no collective bargaining agreement to heed, seems like any player could do whatever seemed to be best for himself. Same thing for the various teams.

When the owners voted to opt out of the current CBA (which happened last fall), it set up a timeline for a post-agreement world, i.e. the uncapped years. The rules for uncapped years, ironically enough for those who think it'll be a player windfall, are much more strictly regulated. It takes players longer to hit free agency, teams gain more tags to restrict movement, and teams that hit the playoffs have their ability to sign free agents severely limited.
