The Texans and Free Agency
I had to go for a bit of a drive today so I flipped on the NFL channel on Sirius. All I heard was how challenging it's going to be for the Texans who are adding 20 to 25 players this season. All of that with a new coach is going to be interesting. I had to look it up.
The #Texans have added so many players this offseason that I can't fit it all in 280 characters.

The #Texans have added a Pro Bowler: They are signing former #Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay, source said.

I think our team has only 58 or so under contract currently, so we’ve got a lot of signing to do as well... B)
Check out their backfield. If you have this many "names" in your backfield, you don't have any.
Texans’ backfield now includes Phillip Lindsay, Mark Ingram, David Johnson, Dontrell Hilliard and Buddy Howell.

Wow. I read they've acquired 29 players so far this offseason (25 via free agency and 4 via trade). We'll see what the final roster and totals look like but that's a whole lot of talent(?) that hasn't played together, learning new schemes on a new team, with a new head coach who has never been a head coach (or a coordinator) before.
Outside of the QB controversy, can't wait to see the results of this experiment...
Apparently they had to add quite a few bodies on the roster to fill a multitude of unexpected schedule openings in the local masseuse industry.
So when is the stuff brewing around Watson going to become another ring to this circus.
