Jonboy Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Although the Texans ideally would like to retain free agent cornerback A.J. Bouye and hammer out a contract extension, a relatively tight salary-cap situation is expected to preclude them from designating him as their franchise player. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/texans/article/Texans-unlikely-to-use-franchise-tag-10934353.php Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaming_thumbtack Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Good. Tony Jefferson won't get tagged either since they said they should tag Jones. Those two would be huge for us. Huston, SuperFreak90, and DJB 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have the edge over Jefferson considering JR was still there when NE drafted him and might have played a big role in that pick Edited February 15, 2017 by socaltitan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

socaltitan Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I have a feeling our approach to FA will be similar to last year. Last year it was one big move (Murray trade), a couple mid-tier signings (Matthews, Ben Jones) and a bunch of small depth moves (Spence, Blake, McCain, etc) I think our big move we will try to make is one of the top CB. Then I think we'll try to add a few mid-tier guys on the defensive side (SS, ILB) then some depth moves (WR, CB, OLB, DE) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Tony Jefferson is a real good player, destroys the running game & solid in coverage, he's a pure SS. Im wondering how they see Byard, as more of a ball hawking FS or do everything SS, because he showed in the running game & in blitzing a lot more than his scouting report projected. I believe DLB uses more of an interchangeable safety approach, where both guys can do anything, rather than a clear FS & SS. But if Byard winds up our SS, say if we draft Hooker, he'll have huge range for a SS. But I think Jefferson is a great fit here, unless they want to give Searcy another year.

It will be interesting to see if JRob makes a play for him. It would be unPatriot like to shell out the $14-16 mil. The guy is good but he's a little unproven. Part of his success could be Texans defense and schemes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Jefferson a lot...and he will be available [no chance he's tagged] ..Searcy would make a nice backup but we have to get better at SS and CB. Another guy who would be a nice fit, would be TJ McDonald another hard hitting SS..who would cost a little less! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bouye, but i don't care how good he was last year, you don't pay a guy with less than one season starting at a high level 12-14 mil a year, and i'm confident JRob will take the same approach. I could almost see 9-10 a year, but not much more. Edited February 15, 2017 by tgo Justafan, socaltitan, SleepingTitan, and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle021 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I would give him 5/50 and 25 guaranteed Then Hightower 5/60 with 32 guaranteed draft Lattimore at 5 and Corey Davis at 18 restructure Jmac and Murray extend Lewan next year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex in a Can Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Time to show him the money, he is young and talented, a good person to overspend on. And we need CBs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 the rumors have Bouye getting $14 million per season, at that price I just can't see JRob getting involved in the auction. yes its disappointing we probably miss out on Bouye, but the clear upside is that the Osweiler contract is already costing the Texans quality players.
