Ryan Mallett TRADED to Houston Texans (1 Viewer)

So I guess by the timing that the Texans were hoping he was cut so they could get him for nothing.

Apparently they had to jump in and trade for him because the Cowboys were also in the mix...

I still think it's a win for them if they think he is potentially their future. Rumors were flying high around draft time of an early or mid rounder for Mallett. Only thing now would be to try and extend his contract.

Should've been traded a while ago. BB out thought himself on this one.

You guys are assuming that the Texans ever offered more.

True. I guess I don't really know what the trade market was/offers were at that point. I do think, however, that as a a casual fan that Mallett's value is about as low as it has been since being drafted. I could be wrong, though.

 
I don't see how BB out-thought himself here...the key for them dealing Mallett was making sure they were comfortable with Jimmy G as their #2...after a slow start to camp he really played well thus making Mallet expendable...the trade probably doesn't happen if Garrapolo wets his pants...for Houston the timing is odd...if you think he has any shot of being your QB of the future wouldn't you want him in camp from the beginning...especially since he is going to be a free agent after this year which means you don't have a ton of time to make a decision on him...

 
Trading for another QB after all the preseason games are done doesn't express much confidence in their current QB's.

No. The key was spending a 3rd on him and getting a 6th in return. Completely wasted high draft pick on a player that gave them zero utility on the field. When he was picked everyone talked him up and how the Pats were gonna coach him up and flip him for a 1st. Clearly the plan failed.

 
What did Mallett do in pre-season. Was he not awful.

I dont think he even is good with the play book. This trade is hoping he can learn something at practice at the end of the year. If Fitz keeps them in the playoff hunt, he is the QB there. Texans have a season like last year and than Mallett gets a chance but so does Savage. I agree with Savage outdoing this guy with a huge head start. Mallett has never even played much in the NFL. He is just like a rookie but the big arm is salivating.

There isn't a QB on the planet who could keep this team in the playoff hunt.

Playoffs ?

PLAYOFFS ?

I think the plan was to have a back up qb -- they didn't get that utility?

Pretty much anyone that didn't have a tie to UofH thought Case Keenum was going to be cut though. This likely makes it a certainty.

Rohan Davey should have gotten us a bunch of picks, just like Ryan Mallett. I remember quite clearly the conversations about Mallett and why we drafted him. It wasn't because we expected Brady to retire. It was specifically because we were supposed to trade him for a profit a few years down the line. This didn't happen.

Quiet down, you. This was clearly another genius move by Belichick the Genius. You simply haven't broken down the sheer brilliance of the genius move just yet.

And you know this was BB's plan how? I don't think I have ever heard that echoed from anyone in the Patriots organization...if you want to say they did not develop (or over-drafted) QBs like O'Connel, Davey and Mallet that is a very fair criticism...yet, I think there is zero evidence indicating they are drafting these guys to simply trade them...they are drafting them to be a backup QB...

Bill spent a 3rd and got a very cheap backup QB for 3 years plus...maybe...a 7th. If you factor the money he saved by not paying a backup QB multi-millions for holding a clipboard then the 3rd was easily worth it.

Outside of QB they are a better team than they were two years ago when they went 12-4 and beat the Bengals in the playoffs.
