After losing out on Weddle, Texans turn attention to Asomugha and Joseph
The bad news for the Texans: They lost out on safety Eric Weddle after the Chargers reportedly “extended their budget” to get Weddle away from Houston.
The good news: They can use the money they saved to go after a cornerback with more value than Weddle. (And we actually like Weddle plenty.)
John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports that the Texans are “working hard” on possible deals for Nnamdi Asomugha or Johnathan Joseph. They’ll have to shuffle around other contracts and give lots of upfront money to get a deal done, McClain writes.
We are more than 36 hours in sorta free agency, and we get the sense Asomugha’s market is still developing.
It wouldn’t shock us if a team we haven’t heard of yet enters the bidding if they learn the price isn’t as high as once feared.
