    I dont think Barnett is likely to be going anywhere given his success in our system. I expect he signs up for a short deal to try and hit free agency with a longer track record of success in another season or two.

    People don't like Curtis Samuel as a possible FA WR?

    I like him as an option should they cut Robert Woods (and save $5M).

    Jauan Jennings is a great "WR5" on the 49ers. If he's available for cheap, Texans should definitely sign him.

    On that team, he has no hope to even move into the top 4. (He's officially WR3 but they have Kittle and McCaffrey).

    Yep, tell me how Horton is doing and I can agree with this post. Horton is really talented but apparently a headcase.

    RB market continues to get deeper.

    I think keeping Barnett should be a priority, and I think he will want to do anything to stay. Epenesa would be a great addition as well, especially if Greenard walks

    He's actually WR4, he replaced Deebo after Deebo got hurt in the NFCCG.

    Barnett and Chop/Latu > Greenard. Hopefully Horton makes it back and can play to his talent level.

    Watching more vids on him...I'm actually intrigued and hope the Texans sign him. He is still young and comes from Shanahan offense...so he'll fit right in. Shouldn't cost too much.

    We cannot afford to keep all the players who outperformed their 2023 contracts and are now FAs.

    I agree we can't re-sign everybody and bring in upgrades. We aren't getting the gang back together thinking they're super bowl bound. But I don't think Barnett, after 6 games resurrecting his career, is going to be one that prices himself out of the plan for next season.

    played around with https://overthecap.com/calculator/houston-texans

    Created $84million in cap space by
    (1) trading WR Robert Woods (or cutting)
    (2) restructuring Tunsil
    (3) restructuring Howard

    That was enough to add
    (1) RB Saquan Barkley ($10M APY)
    (2) IDL Madubuike ($16M APY)
    (3) FS Xavier McKinney ($19M APY)

    In addition to re-signing,
    (4) TE Dalton Schultz ($10M APY)
    (5) LB Blake Cashman ($7M APY)
    (6) Edge Jon Greenard ($14M APY)
    (7) bring back CB Shaquil Griffin ($3M APY)

    With a solid draft class (deep threat WR, swing T, IDL depth, LB depth, CB depth) & vets eager to play in Htown for Demeco... we on to sumthin ;)
