#Texans have agreed to terms on a massive extension for LT L

That’s an absurd amount of resources.

will run the roster into the ground from that perch.

He won't be skimping on weak-ass indica after this! Nothing but the best for my guy!

his gasmask nowadays, when he needs to go grocery shopping.

Haha

there really is no other explanation

has been awful.

Freaking out when a player is given the "highest paid contract in the NFL at his position" is silly. Not that I defend the Solder signing - but when he was made the highest paid OT - it was simply because of timing not because anyone thought he was the best.

drafting a OT in the first instead of a free agent OT makes more sense than say a safety. The price for a free agent OT is way to much money. Same with trying to get a passrusher. Do what that pats do find cheaper alternatives in free agency and trades. Same with Williams the price is to high rather have picks and bring in a cheaper free agent.

Sy, it will fall on deaf ears. A bunch of us have been saying this since he was signed (whether we should have signed him or not is another question)..

What, you want logic to be a factor here? :-)

Cap goes up contracts go up and therefore the newest guy is always the highest paid until its the next guys turn

because it is a huge jump and is the new standard to beat.

BOB paid $4 million more per year than the previous high of $18 million per. Over 20% increase on Lane Johnson's deal.

Dude doesn't have an agent and took BOB to the cleaners.

it shows how OL talent never actually makes it to free agency.

Which is why you need draft it more frequently and successfully than our moronic franchise has done.

The rationale for Solder's bad contract and bad play is endless here. Forget about the facts for a moment (provided below) -- Tunsel is young and good, Solder when he signed was already aging and average.
