Moulds, Part DeuxI can't figure out why they did not go after Antonio Bryant. He would stretch the field and allow Johnson to continue to rack up the receptions.

Not a single team has gone after Bryant this offseason, that should be pretty telling.

That may be because he is suspended, and if they sign him now, his contract is guaranteed all season, whereas if you wait until after week one, there is nothing guaranteed if he gets cut.

The Texans place more value on "character" than almost any other team in the team. Without a severe about face, a guy like Bryant is not even on their radar. I heard from some insider (no link, so FWIW) that they take more players off their draft and FA boards than anyone in league.
 
Certainly can't hurt Andre Johnson's outlook. Walter's value for this year becomes much more dubious, and Daniels loses a little "#2 target by default" value.

 
This negates all value, if any, for Kevin Walter. Look for McCardell to start this year with Jacoby Jones taking over mid-season or next year.

 
Not a great signing but better than what they had! At least it gives them somewhat of a legit #2.

I like Schaub as a sleeper QB.

It will certainly be Walter or Jones - and I think that will depend on Jones more than Walter. I think I read a piece about Walter a few days ago concerning the lack of experience at WR2 with some coach saying good things about Walter. What a letdown this must be for him.

True, it does go to game by game paychecks so maybe he finds his way to a practice squad somewhere. Even so, it still speaks volumes about how poorly teams look at him if no one's willing to spend more than a waiver wire pickup.
 
McCardell will be decent bench depth - you can't start him (one could argue as a #3 WR, maybe) but he could fill in nicely for a bye week or an injury.

All depends on Schaub and that front line.

It's Rotoworld, not Rotowire (two separate organizations), and Rotoworld is quoting a Washington Post article so if someone's wrong it's the Post writer.My belief, even if true, is that 37 year old McCardell isn't taking a starting job away from anybody. He'll be a role player. There's little point in pushing aside younger guys so he can start, given his declining skills and the fact that the team is not a legit contender. McCardell is not the same receiver he was even a couple of years ago. His legs are gone. Very similar to the Moulds situation in terms of declining ability, and again that says to me he won't be a starter.

I mistyped Rotowire. I meant Rotoworld, whom of which on several occasions I have caught posting incorrect information. Buyer beware - though I doubt anyone is running to the waiver wire on this one.
 
I still think McCardell is a solid #2 on any NFL team. If he's healthy can you say "Galloway." Cuz he has the ability to put up #'s even at 37.

John Clayton's blog said McCardell is talking with the Dolphins and Redskins along with the Texans and that reports of the deal with Houston were premature.

McCardell has been on the decline for a while now and ould not even help much in SD last year when they had very little at WR. This is only a stop gap for Houston and unless they really surprise, it will only hold back Walter/Jones.

I actually thought the Moulds move worked pretty well for Houston last year. He was 2nd on the team in catches with 57 for over 550 yards. With only 1 TD, he didn't help fantasy owners , but I think he did what the Texans needed him to do.
 
DE-NIED

Just heard on Sirius that McCardell has officially denied the USA Today (?) article that he signed with Houston. That can't be good for someone. Who? I have no idea...but I'm sure someone is getting slapped on the wrist.

true they released him but I think he had a sizable contract. I don't disagree with Jeter's point.
 
Considering his age, the speed of his signing is appropriate to the speed that he'll display on the field. SLOW!!!! That's IF he plays again.
