Lots of Texans chat around signing Saquon and Mike Evans (Galveston Ball High School) which is insanity. We are more than 2 pieces away from going deeper in the playoffs and that assumes we retain the same large group of players that just became Free Agents.
Volunteers, not Hostages as Tomlin says.
But also no Mercenaries.
I would rather build around draftees and smart FA signings.
But unlike most people on t'Internet, I am aware I am not the GM. The last couple of years has taught me to trust the process. Our most recent draft classes (away from Stroud and Anderson) is a vindication of the process.

yeah it's kinda where the Raiders went wrong with McDaniels/Ziegler and that disconnect between the roster you have, where you finished in the standings, and thinking that either the coaching or the team is better than they actually are and going all in on winning now, rather than honestly assessing where you are and building a roster accordingly.
Pretty sure DeMeco doesn't think you're two FA signings away from being long term competitive.

Do you think your Texans, will be looking at how Detroit built their roster? Does Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell's decisions on draft choices - picking ready now young players at positions of need, and not to chasing expensive ageing free agent signings provide a template for you guys on how to take the next step, and how to deal with the external expectation from the media/hot take talking heads nation?
Texans did in a season what it took Detroit 3 to do, would have been two if they hadn't had that 1-6 start, get to the playoffs and show how competitive they are with a roster full of young up and coming players, and a few all pros in the making..
