All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Why would Henson sign now, with anybody? He has to fit into the Texans rookie cap for last year as a 6th rounder. If he sits pat, he'll get drafted in the 1st or 2nd round and make way more money.

I don't get it.
He has stated he would prefer to be traded so he has some say in where he's going if he enters the draft anyone can take him.
In the end- the money will be the same, if not better if he gets traded rather than gets drafted.
If he goes into the draft and gets picked anywhere from 20th to mid second round- he's not going to get anywhere near the money that a Harrington, Carr, or Palmer got. He's going to get Patrick Ramsey money. Decent, but not a long term deal. He won't have any negotiating power anymore either. The team that drafts him can wait him out. He can't re-enter the draft in 2005 either.
If he gets traded- he can negotiate a longer term deal beyond the 1 year , $280 K .

This will all get pretty interesting.
Ramsey money is a heck of a lot more than Texan 6th round money.
The initial contract that Henson signs in a trade deal wouldn't be very lucrative. Tatonka had an idea, but I don't know whether it would work or not. The idea is that Henson would sign with the Texans for a two year deal at a standard amount for a sixth rounder. There is a verbal agreement in place whereby the Texans then trade him to Buffalo, who immediately sign him to a contract extension that would give Henson first round money.
I am of the opinion that Henson can be a good move for Buffalo, but that they can't bet the future of their cap situation on it. A second round 2004 draft pick is not too much to give up for the kind of upside that Henson may have, but I don't want to see Buffalo stuck with the choice of keeping an unproductive Drew Henson and paying him $5+ million per year or cutting him and taking a $15 cap hit in one year.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

How much did Ramsey make last season? $500 K? A million?
That's a difference of $250 K to $500k- Not a lot
After year 2 he will be on par, if not squeeze a little more than what Ramsey is making. Might even make the difference up in bonus money - heck- he might do a lot better
If he goes back in the draft, he loses the ability to pick his team. I'm sure he doesn't want to find himself on a dismal team, or on a team where he will be buried as a backup.
My understanding is you can't renegotiate a deal for 12 months after a contract is signed. I am not sure if that applies to extensions or not though...

It's only a 1 year deal the Texans will give him. I think that rule is to prevent a yearly restructuring
