    Looks Like Houston Texans About to Sign Matt Cassel

    And he will probably start next season while the quarterback Houston drafts (place your bets on Blake Bortles going #1) sits for a year.

    interesting take although im not too sure on bortles. either way that team wont go anywhere with cassel...almost seems like theyd be better off with schaub if the fan base didnt completely turn on him

    I think I heard Schaub will be released to clear some cap. And the Bortles thing has been discussed in other threads, I don't agree with it either, but he is apparently O'Brien's boy and he questions the work ethic of both Manziel and Clowney. I posted several times to look for a book offering draft futures that has Bortles at nice odds to be #1 because he could be a nice overlay.

    I should add that I couldn't find current draft futures anywhere a few days ago.

    CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora "anticipate(s)" that the Texans will sign free agent Matt Cassel.

    The dots connect, as new Texans coach Bill O'Brien was on New England's staff during Cassel's "breakout" 2008 season, and Houston could use a veteran bridge QB if it's to draft Blake Bortles, as expected. Bortles isn't ready to start in the NFL. Cassel already has a general understanding of O'Brien's offense. Mar 5 - 10:47 PM ET

    Note the bolded.

    not disagreeing with you LT, you are the SBR version of adam schefter...just disagreeing with the whole strategy of the texans...a couple years ago they had the best record in the league, they have a top tier RB (assuming foster comes back healthy), a vicious pass rush, great defense, and an average QB. just seems to me like they will go through another year of mediocrity if they sign cassel, and their skill players arent getting any younger or cheaper

    You don't think signing Cassell would be an indicator that they'd passing on a QB int he 1st round to take Clowney? I do. Maybe they'd take a QB in the 2nd (Garoppolo?)

    I agree with many here that Clowney SHOULD go #1. It just doesn't look like it will happen.

    Smart signing for Houston. It takes so much pressure off them to take a QB #1. Now they have options at least. There's just too many QBs with similar value in this draft to be taking one #1 overall...

    And they'll trade for Mallett. Which I would not disagree with at all, he may have the strongest arm in the NFL.

    Sounds like a good plan if they draft Bortles. Hope it works out for both Cassel and Blake

    If you're going qb first overall, put him out there to play. You're drafting first for a reason and matt fukkin cassell isn't going to help. You start cassell makes sense to take jadaveon cause you'll be right back in the top 5 again next year

    And la canfora is an idiot. Don't listen to any of his shit , throws out all kinds of stories on a regular basis in an attempt to be "that guy" that breaks the big news first. Wait till free agency starts and you'll see what I'm talking about

    lets get this outta the way...foster is done

    if a qb goes #1 he better be ready to play day one...if he's #2 or later then he can do the steve mcnair action

    what a joke if bortles goes 1 and doesnt start

    No qb is worth number 1 pick this year. Either take Clowney or trade pick and build.

    Bortles might end up being a boss, but he's a risk. No one had ever heard of him till this year, when he beat up on a garbage schedule. He could be a gem.... Or an obvious bust. I don't think anyone will risk a top 8 pick on him. Mark my words.

    That's an interesting signing and could be another long season for Houston. Cassel has been a turnover machine lately.

    Signing Cassel would be a great move for HOU, he's a classy veteran to hold the clipboard for their rookie QB.

    The Houston Chronicle's John McClain reports the Texans are "seriously considering" each of Teddy Bridgewater, Blake Bortles and Johnny Manziel with the No. 1 pick.

    Per McClain, there's a "long way to go in the process." McClain — who is the most plugged-in Texans reporter — has been adamant that the team will take a signal caller at No. 1, though there's been recent chatter they could select South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney. Bortles appears to be the favorite at this exact moment, but there's plenty of time for that to change.
