DeMeco Ryans Shipped To Philly
In another shocking move, the Houston Texans have traded inside linebacker DeMeco Ryans to the Philadelphia Eagles for draft picks. The Texans and Eagles swapped their third round picks (Now picking 77th overall) and received the 4th overall pick in the 4th round (100th overall). The move comes on the heels of what appears to be one of the craziest off seasons in Texans franchise history, where the Texans have also lost Mario Williams and cut long time right tackle Eric Winston. Ryans was drafted to the Texans in 2006 (33rd overall) where he garnered NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors….
Texans Resign Myers and Stop the Bleeding
The Houston Texans after looking like a bleak offseason with many questionable moves came back in a big way when they retained their Pro Bowl starting center Chris Myers.

Mario Sends Message to Fans

It has been a great ride for six years and I wish the team the very best. Much love to the players, coaches and staff. It is unfortunate to have to leave such a great place due to salary cap constraints and other intentions. It is very fortunate to have the memories, sweat, blood and tears with…
The End: Williams Leaves
The Houston Texans can finally move on after a three-day marathon pertaining to defensive end Mario Williams touring the city of Buffalo. The Buffalo Bills decided to throw a 6 year deal worth up to $100 million dollars, with $50 million of that guaranteed. That immediately drawfed any offer any NFL team could offer, especially the Texans, as we all know the financial shape the organization is currently in heading into free agency. There should be some comfort to Texans’ fans knowing the Williams contract could be worth 3 to 4 NFL players that could provide depth, and it was not the Texans throwing…
