    Not surprised. He's a player I predicted would be gone this season. Wonder what we got for him and what kind of cap room it gives us.

    If it's at least a 3rd round pick then I'm ok with that.

    Good luck DeMeco. Hope it works out in Philly and that you regain your form back in the 4-3. Your first 4 1/2 years here were awesome.

    Texans all time leader in tackles.

    Hard to imagine him gone, but I agree, a 3rd or higher and I'm not complaining.

    I'm hoping that it's for at least a third rounder....otherwise I would have rather kept him. He's the leader of this defense.

    Well, well....

    Maybe not the player he once was but was one of my favorites. He'll be missed. A true class act and professional. Wishing him all the best in Philly.

    Yeah, but we drafted him with a #2 and he didn't seem to be the same player post-achilles, though I guess some of that could be attributed to playing in the 3-4.

    I'd be happy with a 3rd rounder.

    Jay Glazer says mid rounder. Not sure what that means, but if it's like a 4th that sucks.

    Hopefully the pick and cap room allow us to really upgrade some holes that we have... idk though, there was a point in the season where Demeco looked horrible in terms of his movement and even tackling

    I'd classify a mid rounder as a 3rd, 4th, or 5th. Late rounder = 6th or 7th. Early rounder = 1st or 2nd.

    Woof. Let's hope it's a 3rd. Will really suck if it's a 5th.

    I would have been ok if this was for one of their big 3 at CB. but a mid draft pick?!

    I'm convinced at what's happening.

    Step 1: make playoffs
    Step 2: cut cost in offseason to increase profit margin next year while hype is strong
