When you know his life story, you have to be happy he got a nice payday. But iirc he is a four year vet, or is going to be, and don't they get close to $1M a year anyway?

Ben Tate sined 2 yrs for 7 mil with cleveland.

We have lost a lot of our good draft picks during last four yars of FA. Lotta guys making pretty good paydays.

Good for the players getting FA deals, just not good for Texans.

Well, the team should recoup a decent haul of some middling 2015 compensatory picks.

I do. The Texans have never been big players in free agency, preferring to draft and sign their own players.

When the Texans have dipped their toes in free agency, they've regretted it (Ahman Green, Ed Reed) as often as they've benefited from it (Jonathan Joseph, Antonio Smith).

This is shaping up like a normal Texans off-season, especially when they crafted their payroll to try to keep most of their players for a playoff run instead of losing key pieces. Unfortunately, Schaub and Foster turned to crap right after signing big long-term deals and we didn't successfully fill a few holes from last year.

The Texans will ink a few players once the feeding frenzy is over and the big names are gone. They'll sign them for at or below market value and we'll be back out there competing again.
