Houston Texans sign DE Mario Williams (1 Viewer)

Yikers...the first shocker takes place...and it's not even draft day.

Gotta believe the Bush nonsense scared the hell out of them. There's just too many unanswered questions at this moment.

Ton of pressure on Williams now. He needs to be all world or this move will be questioned for a long time. Where Bush goes is anyone's guess. Are other teams scared by him or will a few try to trade up and snag him? Does this mean the other backs could slip a little further since Bush may take a slot that wasn't expected? More questions the more you think about it.

Big, big news here.

No way. Saints either take Bush, or charge someone a kings ransome for the #2

NFL Network reporting Saints have already said Bush is available for trade. For the right price of course. They may also use this to leverage Brick to sign before the draft.

I'm still sceptical. They could have deals with all the top players, all that matters is who they actually select tomorrow.

This could still be a negotiation ploy with Bush.

 
Is there not a chance that someone has worked out a deal with the Texans for Williams and will swap them picks? Maybe the Jets at 4? I can see someone trading up for a pick they thought might not be there after 2 or 3 and the Texans taking BPA plus a few picks later in the draft.

 
Christmas is April!

J E T S - Jets, Jets, Jets!!!!

We want Bush!!!

#4 and #29 for the next NY Superstar!

If new Orleans passes on Bush the Titans are going to have a bigger decision to make than Leinart / Young!!! Maybe McNair gets his money.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am taking the headline on NFL.com as it is signed and completed. Meaning they can't back out now. :shrug:

I doubt NFL will allow a team to get an agreement with a player to be drafted #1 and then pick another...

yes - but the Texans are only allowed to negotiate with the #1 pick...

Not true, this is a signed deal, it isn't the same as making contract offers. This is a done deal, the guy is signed. Just heard that on NFL Network as well.
 
The Saints can't take Bush since they have Deuce, right?

They took Deuce having Ricky...

Yes, they sure did. Only, they didn't select Deuce with the first overall pick in the draft. Barring a trade, I don't see how the Saints don't take Brick. He is exactly what that team needs to protect their new QB and franchise RB's, both coming off injuries.Which begs the question, is it possible that Bush falls all the way down to the Jets?

This is going to be a very excellent draft!!!

New Orleans will likely trade down.

Who will come up to get Bush!! #2 pick is much cheaper than #1.

With them likely moving to LA? :no: This almost seals the deal for the move now.

We either get Bush, or trade the pick to the Jets or 49ers for loads of picks and still get an elite player. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! :banned:

:goodposting: I haven't seen the reports, but is this thread's subject misleading? Is there really a signed deal?

Its a signed contract. Bush just lost a lot of money. Let that be a lesson to those who are to greedy.
 
From Texans website:

Texans sign Williams April 28, 2006HoustonTexans.com HOUSTON - The Houston Texans have signed North Carolina State DE Mario Williams and plan to take him with the first overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. Williams becomes the second Texans number one pick in team history.

Because legally speaking until you actually draft the player he is not yours.What you are signing is a pre-draft agreement.Obviously that agreement would not be valid if the player is not drafted.I remember the Browns - the year they took Couch - came to agreements with Akili Smith and I think another player as well. It was all basically a ploy to force Couch's price down.
 
New Orleans should take Bush for all the same reasons Houston should have. This guy is so special, I cant beleive they passed up on him, Sean Payton is an offensive guy, trying to put together a winner. I like ##### McSuckister just as much as the next guy but he is an injury concern and they have no legitimate depth behind him. They should take him and never look back.

Brees

McSuckister

Bush

Horn

Stallworth

TE in the second....

This could be a potent offense.

Love it!

BTW, espn.com has this quote under a picture of Williams, " Don't buy the rumors about Mario Williams the Texan. It's not happening. However, the team that does jump at the N.C. State defensive end gets a guy with one mission -- Super Bowl or bust, Clark Judge says." But, right above that is breaking news about Williams signing with Houston. :bag: :D :lmao:

Want some real EXCITEMENT. If Bush is there at #4 and the Jets pass for a QB there could be a riot in NY.
