So you're saying Sage makes the Texans better? I have to think about that one myself actually.

Even if he does, it seems a bit presumptuous to think there isn't another UFA who might be just as serviceable if needed in 2009. A few potential UFAs that might work well here as a #2 (in additional to whatever trade compensation the team would get for Rosenfels): J.P. Losman, Patrick Ramsey (who had been pursued by the Texans once upon a time), J.T. O'Sullivan, Jeff Garcia (also once pursued by the Texans), Charlie Frye, Kyle Boller, Byron Leftwich...

I can understand that there might be some unbridled Sage love around here, but I think the "step down" to any of these is a pretty short one, esp if you give that Texans warroom a shot at another draft pick.

I just find it REALLY hard to believe that any team is asking the Texans for Sage just hoping he might come in to compete as a starter, including the Jets. If I were the Jets, I think I would prefer rolling the dice with either Ratliff or Clemens than try to bring in Rosenfels.
