Once the serious side concerning DeMeco Ryans, the Texans had three options: 1. Restructure 2. Trade 3. Outright Release.
Considering the Texans options, that they found a trade partner entails a minor miracle. To wit, the Texan are up against the cap. Further, other teams are well aware of the Texans cap situation. Given the facts, why would any team offer the Texans trade value?
So another option is for Ryans to restructure his current contract. The Texans may have approached Ryans with,"Well, you're a former NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.........but injuries, part time player, $7 million on the cap...wanna renegotiate?" Ryans' agent,"NO!"
Finally Texans GM Rick Smith has no choice. He hits the speed dial Ferris, Ferris, Ferris..any takers for DeMeco? Oh we have the Eagles..LMAO, you guys had Vince Young as the back up QB.
The Texans lost Eric Winston to outright release. Mario Williams gone to free agency was a foregone conclusion. Another 20% of the offensive line was lost when Mike Brisiel left to Oakland.
On the plus side, Arian Foster and Chris Myers re-upped with the club.
Given the options, the Texans made the right moves. Foster is probably the best running back in the NFL. Myers is probably the best center to run the zone block scheme.
Williams, under the best circumstances, wouldn't be retained. Ryans' injury made him expendable.
The mission remains the same: Win A Super Bowl.
