Considering a reliable second runner alongside Slaton is something we've been dying for, and considering our second running back last year was the reason why we failed to win about 3 games which would have put us into the playoffs, I'd say LT would fit in perfectly and help us get over the hump.

Houston isn't perceived as a winner yet. I would think he's going to want to go to one of the established powers. New England still has name value as a power. Indy makes sense. Minnesota, who could be looking for someone to replace Chester Taylor. It's not a matter of if LT would be a fit in Houston, he would, it's a matter of if he gets an offer from an established winner, not a team looking to make the playoffs for the first time ever.

That's true. I don't expect him to come. I do think he has more than one year left though, so I don't think he has to go to an IMMEDIATE contender just yet.

Wherever he goes, it's going to be a clear cut Super Bowl contender. There's no reason for him to go to a team that isn't that. He's done everything a player can do in this league except win a Super Bowl. At this point in his career, I think that's all LT is focusing on. And going to a team such as Houston just doesn't make much sense in that regard.

My biggest problem with this, is that AJ blows the situation once again. LT wasn't worthless. Why not trade him for a mid round pick? Instead, you let him walk, and get nothing in return? I'm not a business major, but letting products go for free sounds like a pretty crappy way of handling business. I hope they don't draft a RB 1st round though. I'd rather pick up a FA, and use that first pick on O-line.

At over 5 million next year there is no way another team takes on that contract. It sounds so simple but it usually isn't.

I know it was going to be incredibly difficult to trade him, but I still hate seeing players go with nothing in return. With all the FA's the team has this year, it's looking pretty dim.
