Default Phillip B. Anyone??

Buchanon was released because of multiple injuries...he's young, and uber-talented, but injuries got the best of him, I'd love to grab him cheap and see if he can contribute next season...

Texans release former first-round pick Buchanon
By KRISTIE RIEKEN, AP Sports Writer
October 16, 2006

HOUSTON (AP) -- Cornerback Phillip Buchanon was released by the Texans on Monday, ending his injury-filled and lackluster stay in Houston.

Buchanon, a first-round pick in 2002, was traded to Houston from Oakland before last season in exchange for second- and third-round picks in the 2006 draft.

Default Texans release Phillip Buchanon

Texans released CB Phillip Buchanon.
Buchanon, acquired from Oakland in exchange for two first-day picks in 2005, was unable to beat out journeymen corners Lewis Sanders and Dexter McCleon for playing time in Houston's secondary. He still has some punt return skills, so he could get another shot somewhere. Maybe Charley Casserly will get back in the league and hire him.
I wouldnt mind taking a chance at him. He'd be a better option than Faulk returning punts and could help out our secondary in certain situations

Lousy? He had 6 picks in his second season. His numbers are better then anyone we have. At least he can catch a damn ball thrown his way unlike our current lineup.

That would be a great pickup. Though the patriots never seem to pick up the sexy kind of player. I still believe Phillip falls under that category cause he was the man in college and a weapon in oakland. I already had him on my madden roster months ago and in my franchise he made the pro bowl second in interceptions to Geno.

Yeah, he can give up a ton of TDs by dropping coverage to jump routes. Numbers look good, all right. Hurts the team, though.

Better than anything we have? Yeah, right. Like I really want guys that couldn't make it with Oakland or the Texans. Gimme Duane Starks back first.

yeah...the Texans have soooo much talent and depth that they simply couldn't afford a roster spot for the amazing buchanon...

And you probably thought Mike Vrabel was lousy when we signed him. Probably thought, big deal, who's this stiff ? You never ever know, sometimes just the gratitude of getting a chance makes a player turn around his career. Hundreds of players in the history of the NFL have had the shaky start Buchanon has had, some turn it around when given the chance. Never say never. For every David Terrell, there's a Mike Vrabel.

Yeah but he is a definite upgrade just cause how explosive he is on returns when he is healthy. We always say BB is the best coach is the business imagine what he could do with that raw talent. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to try out who knows he could be the shutdown corner we been missing, and actually make a big play by not just catching the ball but running with it too. You can laugh at the idea but i'd be all for giving him a shot at making a difference he is still very young and probally hungry for success.

Not at all. The book on Vrabel is that he was a high-motor, talented guy stuck behind a logjam of superb linebackers in Pittsburgh. Remember, Belichick picked him up as a restricted free agent and pretty much knew he was getting an up 'n coming young 3-4 LB/DE type player who would be a contributor with the Patriots.
