Is it quieter this year in Texans news than past couple years, or am I just more impatient this year? maybe it will start this week going by the signing history you gave.

Last year we started camp on the 25th, this year not until the 31st, I am sure this has a little to do with our impatience.

If you look it seems that most guys are signed during the last 7 days before camp starts.

But to complicate the rookie signing process the Texans obviously have other considerations this year they haven't had in the past with the ongoing contract negotiations involving key veterans DeMeco & OD and the whole D-Rob drama. Smith and staff only have so much time in each day and these
other situations may delay the completion of signing all rookies in 2009, especially by the beginning of TC ?

I wish they would hurry up and sign the rest of the draftees. But I know it will be the last week before TC before it finally heats up and comes to a boil.

I realize these contracts have many parameters and to a degree all are
unigue in certain aspects, but on the other hand there's got to be a certain
degree of standarization for many of the terms. I guess I dunno why it takes
so long ? I mean once there's an agreement in priciple about the basic terms, does it still take that long to dot the "is" and cross the "ts" ?
