Default Hypothetical: Texans offer a 5th and 6th for Waters

Do you pull the trigger? He's been out of the NFL for a season and isn't exactly a young kid anymore. But on the other hand his last season was a dominant elite calibre season. On top of that, it could be a mild sign to future players you could hold out (even respectfully) and eventually get your way. Though I don't know if anyone wants to lose a full years check.

Texans are obviously an AFC competitor and Waters could add to an already talented offensive line. Patriots are in need of middle round/late picks pretty badly and "losing" Waters doesn't do anything since he wouldn't play for us anyway.

Do you do it?

Yes.

The Patriots have been overachievers the past two years. It doesn't have the talent to compensate for injuries, and it wins so much because it puts in 99% effort in the regular season and plays with terrific schemes to mask its deficiencies.

But in the playoffs a good team at 99% will not beat emotional, talented teams that play at 100%. It's what happened against the Giants in 2011 and the Ravens in 2012.

Yes.

Waters is so far off the radar it would be like getting something for nothing. I am not worried about the possible upgrading of a rival. If anything, it might backfire on Houston.

Hypothetical: If the Texans management were lobotomized, would you say yes to a 5th and a 6th?

I'd jump at a 7th. Brain was great for us when he played here, but lets face it, he is not coming back. If we can get ANYTHING for him it would be dumb not to do so.

I'd offer to drive him to the airport, but he's already in Texas.
