    I REALLY, REALLY hope we get at least one, and not from the TJ Maxx bargain bin, a real bona fide blue chip O Lineman

    Never understood why they were even thinking about letting him go.

    He would have been pretty damn perfect for the Texans.

    i don’t understand how we couldn’t beat that offer by a lot. This truly sucks. And now it’s clear, we are gonna screw ourselves again with a garbage o-line. So tired of this dumpster dive approach to the o-line.

    There’s a ton of outstanding o linemen on the market. If they don’t sign two/draft two I’d be surprised.

    Correction: With the NFL salary cap increase, he might get $18M/year.

    this guy must be an enormous head-case for Philly to move on from such a talent.

    This sucks for 2 reasons. First loved McGovern and I was hoping he was our #1 FA IOL target--fk me! Plus that was a reasonable deal.

    Second, Mays price just went up. Watch Cas will head to Dollar General now and sign a couple guys. Sht this sux!!

    How would you feel about Taylor Decker and Wyatt Teller or Issac Seumalo?

    I think there is a reason their respective teams didn’t fight harder to keep them

    Decker has a lot left in the tank.

    Teller, I'm not so sure about, but both if healthy would be upgrades.

    I am a little concerned about EJ Speed spending.

    If Meco has shown anything, it’s that he can coach up LBs.

    I think a young LB (or 2) have been the move here.

    It’s not impossible from here - just seems unlikely.

    just bored at a house party so here we are :lol:

    What are your thoughts on this?

    One Free Agent the Texans Must Sign – No Excuses

    As to who the Texans could target, there are a few names that have been linked to Houston in recent days as a signing who might make sense–– but none more than Carolina Panthers free agent center Cade Mays.

    He's a free agent that, barring a surprise new deal with the Panthers before free agency opens up at the start of next week, needs to end up with the Texans to be their Week One starting center.

    Mays isn't a free agent that jumps off the page like some of the other big names hitting the open market next week, but he's certainly going to be a value add for whatever team ends up with him.

    Mays, a 26-year-old 6-foot-6, 235-pound veteran center, comes off a season in which he was graded as the 24th-best center among 40 eligible names via Pro Football Focus (62.4), but also wound up as the 13th-best graded pass blocker at the position by the end of the year as well.

    It's production and stability that the Texans could certainly use on their own offensive line, which has been often rumored to be searching for more competition at center entering the 2026 season.

    You can't do anything about a team signing their own FA's before the legal tampering period begins (which I think is Tue, Mar 9). This doesn't apply to trades (as evidenced by the DM deal).
