Was Leinert with the Texans last year during their preseason, or was he signed later in the season ? I don't remember him in any of our preseason games ?

looks like Leinert joined Texans after preseason right before first regular season game last year.

guess we will see him in open practice and preseason games this year

That seems to just be something we do, giving backup QB's a bunch of scratch. Sage got nearly 3mil per, danO's deal was 3 years, 9.6 or something like that. We do that. Certainly doesn't look good for captain safety dance. I like TJ Yates, too.

I wonder if This signing is the prelude to a trade?

[barrett]

I don't think anyone is trading for Leinhart. He had zero value and little interest when we signed him less than a year ago and the only thing that has changed since is he hasn't played.

Matt was rumored to about to sign with Seattle until Jackson signed and now they are looking at Brandon Mebane about to bolt. So maybe they are interested in getting something for him and we could use an NT. Just a thought.

Looks like Zak Diles was signed by St. Louis, he seemed pretty consistent, and then Matt Turk got signed by Jacksonville, good for Matt, bad luck to Jacksonville.

I think I saw Tim Bulman was re-signed.

Still a lot to go to get to 90 players by training camp start tomorrow.

Perhaps Orlasky to Colts.

The chron.com is reporting that Dan O will sign with the Colts, I have never hoped for Peyton to be hurt so much. Maybe they are just getting him to be a camp arm, and then release him after he talks with there DC about our offense the last week of training camp.
