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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I don't understand why they took over his contract anyway. The guy has been injured for 2 years. He's washed up. Good for the Jags, bad for the Texans.
He might come back to be a decent player again, but not anywhere near the money the Texans picked him up for.
1) He fit the profile of the guy the Texans wanted - under 30 years old
2) The Texans by expansion ruled were forced to spend a certain amount of cap $$$ on the draft- I'm to lazy to look it up but if memory serves me correct- they had to spend a minimum of $35 Million or something - hard to do if all you pick are the Avian Blacks of the world
3) The Texans cut some deals with cap strapped teams, mainly the Jets, Ravens and Jags. They took on some very expensive players from those teams (Aaron Glenn from the Jets, Jermain Lewis from the Ravens) and in exchange, these teams left some good young talent exposed that they normally would not have left out there. T- Ryan Young from the Jets, DT's Seth Walker and Gary Payne from the Jags, and Jamie Sharper from the Ravens.
Without the draft, these teams would have had to make deep cap cuts, because releasing them would have accelerated bonus owed, thus more players would have beenlost to cover dead cap space.
However, losing a player via the draft, the Texans actually take on all cap issues. That's how hte Jets, who were in Cap "Jail" not only solved some problems but were able to get room to sign Cowart
