Texans FB/TE/H-back James Casey?

[Crazy Patriot Guy]

Sorry if I missed it but I haven't seen much mentioned about him and I think he would be a great signing for us. FB/TE/H-back, he's the typical Belichick player, he's versitale.

I live down here in Texas and I haven't spoken to one Texans fan that would be happy to see him go. My cousin, who's a die hard Texans fan, thinks he would be perfect for us because of the scheme versatility in our no huddle offense.

I've only seen a an occasional mention by the media, and even Reiss doesn't list him as a potential target as a FB or TE. Is he expected stay in Houston or something? What am I missing?

Would be a good fit, but I anticipate that he would either want a bigger role or cost too much to use in a limited role.

Sign the beast. He would serve as both Hernandez' backup Move TE and as a Larry Centers-type FB,
except that Casey is a better blocker than Centers ever was. Not that he's Vonta Leach, either.

I understand, he certainly wouldn't come for the veteran minimum, or else why leave the city he's been in since he went to Rice? But I also don't think he'd be expensive and I do think the Pats can sell him on a role in the offense.

I don't think he'd be an easy signing but for sure one looking into.

He would fit the Pats scheme well imo. I thought the same thing last year.

In a perfect world, he would have been a Patriot in 2009. Then again, I wonder if the Pats would have had Hernandez in 2010 if they'd gotten Casey in 2009, so I won't complain too much.

Certainly worth kicking the tires on. Don't think anyone here would be surprised if it happens.

After taking two beatings from the Patriots in the same year you'd think if the money was close to the same he might have the "if you can't beat em, join em" mindset going on. Then again, he went to high school, College and plays in the NFL in Texas. How many players can claim that?

Meh. Not enough play-making ability for my liking.
