#Texans concerned about prospect of losing CB AJ Bouye to #Eagles, per source. #Texans to counter offer today.

Get it done Texans.

Eagles offer supposedly in 14.2-14.5 range. He is waiting for the Texans counter. sounds like Indy and TEN are out of it right now.

Pennsylvania state income tax rate is 3.07% which would reduce his income ~$430K/yr, so the Texans would have to offer ~$13.7MM to match.

On the other hand, playing a sport that typically requires a helmet mitigates some of the inconvenience inherent in playing for enthusiasts given to liberal views regarding the norms of battery disposal so they do have that going for them.

Schefter and others are now reporting Bouye will sign elsewhere this afternoon.

Sounds like the Titans are giving him $15-16m per year. Crazy money.

Sounds like Rick lost this battle when he let Bouye's agent dictate the terms. Texans were essentially offering the tag price, so why not tag him? If he leaves next year because he is pissed b/c he was tagged, who cares? He's gonna play hard so the next team wants to sign him to top $.

Schefter is saying his money is on Bouye going to the Jags. Might be a bidding war right now.
