Poor Houston fans? Poor Mario after the pressure hes going to be under and the possible boos he'll face because he's not Reggie Bush. You know what, nevermind, not poor Mario, he's going to make more money than I ever will.:

 

[StylisticS]

wow...PFT was right on this one.

 

[adbutcher]

Good signing imo. That is how you build a team, inside out. Under Campers they attempted outside in but that didn't work out very well.

 

[calico]

:laugh2: Lol,

I was listening to some Houston sports radio for the entire Houston to Austin drive I just did and it was TOTAL Meltdown the whole time.

They said it was a 5 year deal, with a one year option worth $54 million overall with $22 million guaranteed.

I agree. My first opinion was for them to trade down and pick up some OL. But this one is a great move for them, cuz their D is what cost them a ton of games last year. And their secondary is still suspect. Phillip Buchanon anyone?

 

[Natedawg44]

I got to give PFT some credit. They have had two big scoops in the past month. They knew about Reggie Bush's parents house a full month before the story broke and now they broke this story before anyone.

 

[CanadaBoys]

wow... what a major F-up.... what a joke the Texxans are to pass over reggie Bush... this is gonna haunt their franchise for years.

 

[Natedawg44]

Unless they just passed up Warrick Dunn for the next Bruce Smith

Yea, the same way the Colts were haunted by taking that Manning guy over the certified stud Ryan Leaf.


Williams helps their franchise more this year and in the near future than a part-time RB would.

ESPN.com reports the Texans are focusing Friday contract talks on Mario Williams, not Reggie Bush.

There were conflicting reports Wednesday that a deal with Bush was close. But Len Pasquarelli reports the Texans haven't contacted Bush in over 24 hours, and have negotiated with Williams all Friday. A FoxSports.com report claims the Texans have told Williams he will be the first pick. Houston GM Charlie Casserly denies that.

The owner of the house Reggie Bush's family lived in is planning to sue the family for $3.2 million. The NFLPA claims the family was the subject of unlawful threats.

We've heard whispers that this story is only getting started. Bush's family reportedly did not pay rent at the house they were living at. There are indications that Bush's stepfather was involved in setting up the agency that he eventually spurned. The possibility of him losing his Heisman is growing.

Wonder where Bush goes now....

 

[big dog cowboy]

Kiper is going to have a field day with this news tomorrow.

 

[Big Country]

I'm sitting in front of the TV watching the NFL Network, 7:40 pm CDT and I heard that the Texans have just signed Mario Williams.

Holy shmagoley!! :laugh1:

 

[Mr Cowboy]

I bet Houston still takes the full 15 minutes of the clock tommorrow......

 

[Natedawg44]

Would you give a player thats never played a down in the nfl at running back more money than LaDanian Tomlinson? I can see why they did it.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Wonder where Bush goes now....

San Fran - #6 and #22 for #2

This is a mistake!! The Texans are taking the place of the old Bengals. They have no idea what they are doing!! They have no offense and a quarterback that gets killed every week.
THERE IS ONLY 1 REAL TEAM IN TEXAS!!
