They'll be solid again. NE has no real weaknesses on D from a small sample. Pittsburgh's receivers were like molasses though and Big Ben, well showed his age. Playcalling was even more bland. Speed can create issues for any defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FANATIC 852 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Texans released CB Aaron Colvin. This the latest big move from a team without a general manager. The Texans signed Colvin to a four-year, $34 million contract with $18 million guaranteed just last offseason and still owe Colvin $7.5 million guaranteed with $10.5 million in dead money. Ouch. This won't help the Texans secondary issues, and there aren't free agents to bandaid the situation. Colvin had a down 2018 season and just allowed eight receptions, 117 yards, and one touchdown on Monday Night Football, but he should re-surface shortly. Perhaps a new coaching staff can get him back to his 2016 and 2017 form. RELATED: Houston Texans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texans signed CB Phillip Gaines to a one-year contract. Gaines was released by the Browns with an injury settlement a few days ago, but the Texans are desperate for cornerback talent right now. Gaines is nothing more than a flier who will try to replace Aaron Colvin. Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter Sep 10, 2019, 7:40 PM ET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WichitaZRide 321 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I can't remember who it was, so I can't give them credit, but someone mentioned that the Colvin cut is the kind of thing that would happen when a HC makes a snap decision based off emotion when they don't have a GM to keep them in check. I think we bring him in, and if he's not the answer we can still go after someone at the trade deadline. Worth kicking the tires on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got burned by one of the fastest wr's in the league (Ted Ginn). He's gotta be better than Fenton and not sure how he could be worse than Fuller and Ward played last week either.

sith13 1,746 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Pats generally focus on second tier guys and are doing a very good job of finding them. It gives them a lot of flexibility and a decent depth, also hanging on to premium picks helps them play the numbers game in the draft. We have mostly been focusing on stars which is nice to have but also leaves minimal cap to work with and creates never ending cap issues. Also we seem to have some issues getting production from mid to late round guys due to bad coaching but that will hopefully change soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, the Chiefs created about $10.6m in cap room by my calculation, as @FieldYates reported. That should bring the Chiefs' current cap space to somewhere around $23m. They can use it to pay Chris Jones this year, make a move before the trade deadline or pay PM15 in Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
