    Not saying get him, not saying don’t, but who cares if we guarantee 1 year of his salary? We have a ton of unused cap space.

    Cal seems like he would be more open to it than his old man was.

    No, because of the headaches sure but also as mentioned we are kind of full at WR, I know Fuller is due to sit out like half the season though but if he can be healthy we're fine there.

    If we are going to make a big move, make it for a RB, we do not have a starting RB1 on this team.

    Sometimes there's free agents or players available for trade, and I think to myself, "I hope the Texans get them so -insert team here- doesn't."

    If he doesn't want to play for the Texans I won't be that upset about it.

    0% chance BoB brings him in.

    AB’s agent is also Duke Johnson’s.

    The Texans probably have a relationship with Rosenhaus. I would not be surprised if a phone call was made this morning.

    I'd rather see the money spent at CB, but this guy, when right... is still among the elite. It's an opportunity, not without some downside..That said, if AB can keep it tight, we're looking unstoppable on that side of the ball.

    Antonio Brown saw how trash Derek Carr was in practice, and just tried to force his way out of Oakland, and it worked.

    Antonio will be invigorated playing with Deshaun The GREAT.

    The Texans are sitting on cap space, a one year deal theoretically doesn't hurt them. If they were to do it I wouldn't cry about it, I'd just worry about the locker room.

    This isn't like an Artest kind of guy where he's crazy but his teammates love him. AB had issues with several teammates and coaches on the Steelers, he had an open beef with the QB and a lot of Steelers that played with him openly don't like the guy. He's not going to be happy playing with Hopkins, I can see it now, because Hopkins is everything he's not personality wise and he can't share success with other WRs (again, see Pittsburgh) so even while on paper it looks like we are not risking anything and maybe so...still, I'd like to think the cap space could be used better.

    Jack Easterbay is going to make the call on this one in my opinion. It seems like he secretly runs the Texans.

    BoB should have dinner with Caserio and get his opinion.

    I say yes purely for entertainment value. If he does well, great. If it's a total meltdown, that can be entertaining too.
