Since that other Texas team has signed Foster

Will this mean that they use the tag on Mario now?

Too Expensive: From what I have heard they'd be in the 18-20 mil range for a tag. Texans are wrestling with the cap.....somethings got to give.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Foster was still on a dirt-cheap contract, so unlike sometimes when a longer-term deal creates a lower cap figure, I don't think this helps them much.

Chron.com say's it's $22 million - which is INSANE. No way he gets tagged at that type of figure.

with Williams the Texans get burned since as a #1 overall pick and a huge salary to begin with, that one rule that requires that the player get paid more by a percentage kicks in and I heard it is almost $23 million

[cowboy_ron]

Didn't realize it was quite that high

Definite Catch22... or 23 as in this case...

Heard on the news this morning that neither Williams or Chris Meyers got tagged so both are UFAs.
