Texans are making a strong run at LT Nate Solder. They’re desperate for a new LT. They started 5 LTs last season.
https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/03/12/richard-sherman-san-francisco-49ers-john-lynch-mmqb-peter-kingI bet Houston will be all over Solder. The Texans haven’t replaced a solid left tackle, Duane Brown, after dealing him to Seattle at the trade deadline last October, and don’t have a pick until 68th overall in the third round, and so will have to make some hay in free agency. Bill O’Brien and Solder overlapped on the Patriots during Solder’s rookie season of 2011, and the Texans coach has high regard for him, I’m told. There’s one other X factor: Solder’s son Hudson, 2, is undergoing treatment for kidney cancer, and his treatment base is in Boston now. So that could play a role too—although other NFL cities have pediatric cancer units, to be sure.
To be sure.Peter King in Dachau gift shoppe mode:

Yes, Peter ... because if you've dealt with one set of doctors in keeping your child alive, you can just find another set of doctors equally as skilled and who you immediately trust in another city.
It was a great story last year, and some guys don't get rolling til late in career, but I have doubts he can repeat what he did.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- For the second time in the past seven years, the Denver Broncos have roared into free agency to fix a quarterback problem.
In 2012 it was Peyton Manning, and this year it's Case Keenum.
Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter the Broncos will reel in the 30-year-old Keenum to be their quarterback of the present and future when free agency officially opens Wednesday.

Extremely well done by Kirk. Showed how to play the franchise tag. Established a benchmark for fully guaranteed contracts, for QBs at least and then who knows. And he landed on a team that was one game away from SB.Holy shit. That’s a huge guarantee.
20, 24, 28, 28, 28.So he'll make, between his franchise tenders and (if true) Vikings deal, about $130M over 5 years.
He just out-Revis’d Revis. He was also fortunate that he didn’t suffer a major injury, which is obviously the downside risk. Good for him. NFL players deserve greater guarantees.Extremely well done by Kirk. Showed how to play the franchise tag. Established a benchmark for fully guaranteed contracts, for QBs at least and then who knows.

Bravo.
Naw. He's older, won't play a ton, tons of injury history.Welker in reverse. He’ll torture us.
Glad he got his money and I hope it's a windfall for him, but I'll wager this will be like the David Givens era in Tennessee.Welker in reverse. He’ll torture us.
WHO IS BRADY INVITING TO MONTANA IN HIS PLACE????Glad he got his money and I hope it's a windfall for him, but I'll wager this will be like the David Givens era in Tennessee.
Thre
That’s...disappointing.
Yup. Get your money, Danny, and enjoy the weather. Gillette will give him a nice return ovation. Had the whole arc of bust to playoff hero.Danny A has been substantially underpaid for at least a couple of years. I hope he gets a lot of the Dolphins' money.
Regarding Suh i’ll believe it when i see it. Brady seems to like Dola. Doesn’t sound good that Solder might be walking away to Cleveland though.
Here's what else I was told about Danny Amendola -
The Patriots would not budge with Amendola's request for more money because get this....
They are trying to sign Ndamu
Well that's definitely one way to bait Gase into upping his offer for your FA WR. "oh, you're gonna sign my guy? Well fine, i'll sign yours!"Here's what else I was told about Danny Amendola -

Suh is a dirty mofo but he could be OUR dirty mofo. I’d take him. Sign him and trade Malcolm Brown for more draft capital. Championship!

Good for himAmendola got 2 years $12 million with just over 8 guaranteed per Peter Schreger.
Good for him. Too rich for my blood. May he get lots of garbage time production in a 7-9 season and good health.Amendola got 2 years $12 million with just over 8 guaranteed per Peter Schreger.
