A couple of days ago I ranted and raved about how good Arian Foster is and why he is so deserving of the 5 year $43 million extension the Houston Texans gave him. Today Foster ...

Arian Foster of the Houston Texans was deservedly rewarded yesterday with a five-year, $43.5 million contract with $20.75 million guaranteed. He’ll make $18 million in base salary next season, plus incentives. Foster was an undrafted free agent in 2009, and made only $525,000 last season. Arian then led the NFL in rushing in 2010 with 1,616 yards and ran for 1,224 yards...

Dear Texans Fan Base,
This is just a reminder that just because Peyton Manning just got released does not mean we go crazy and think we need to add him to get us over the hump. Last time I checked the Texans did just fine without him in 2011 and could have gone even further if Matt Schaub wouldn’t have suffered a freak foot injury. I really can’t think of any reason that I...

Should he make it to unrestricted free agency Tuesday -- and there was no evidence the Houston Texans were close to working out a new contract before he hits the market -- defensive end Mario Williams will clearly be the most coveted veteran this side of Peyton Manning.
So where will the six-year pro end up playing?
Don't count out the Atlanta Falcons, we keep hearing, as do...

With the release of Peyton Manning and the news of one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history hitting the open market, taking up all the headlines, there has been very little talk at quite possibly the best free agent on the market, which is set to open Tuesday.
Who do you say am I referencing? Why it's Mario Williams.
You know the Mario Williams that was the number...

ESPN’s Adam Schefter was asked whether or not he believes the New England Patriots will go after Texans defensive end/linebacker Mario Williams once free agency begins.
Schefter gave his answer on his ESPN blog.
“It’s usually not the Patriot Way to pour their resources into one marquee player such as Williams,” wrote Schefter. “He would be great in their system, and the...

Two of the leagues most explosive wide receivers Andre Johnson of the Texans and Dez Bryant of the Cowboys are among those who are restructuring their deals in order to create more salary cap space for their teams, according to sources. In both cases, the maneuvers were simple. Johnson converted his base salary ($6.5 million) to a bonus and spread it out over a number of...
Prized defensive lineman Mario Williams is going to draw a lot of interest from teams looking to upgrade their pass rush. With One NFC team in prime position to outspend the rest of the league, could the race to land Willaims be over before it starts?

It took a few years for the Houston Texans to build a playoff roster. But now that they’ve made that first appearance in the postseason, it looks like this is a team that could stay there for awhile.
This team has talent up and down the roster, enough so that team officials and observers are prepared to lose star defensive end Mario Williams with nary a blink of concern.

With the recent long-term deals made with Texans running back Arian Foster and the Seahawks’ Marshawn Lynch, this had led many to believe that the market is now set to get a deal done with Ravens star running back Ray Rice. He was franchise tagged last week and with the similar numbers between Rice and Foster, they now have a negotiating point to go...
