How unexpected maneuvers could extract even more value on Houston Texans draft night
05 April 2023
One of the most exciting and highly graded players in the NFL Draft is University of Texas running back prospect Bijan Robinson. The thought of the Texans lining up with Bryce Young and Robinson this season, would certainly appeal to a lot of Texans fans.
But others would see Robinson as a luxury pick, based on the position he plays. The Texans already have Dameon Pierce and signed former Bills running back Devin Singletary to a 1-year deal. And let's face it, the Texans have a lot of holes to fill on the roster.
However, there are some reasons to believe the Texans may have interest in Robinson at the right point in the draft.
Be sure to check out the video above as John Granato and NFL Draft analyst Lance Zierlein share their thoughts on Robinson and his fit with the Texans.

How Astros could still be in on Bregman, definitely out on another
Jan 20, 2025, 6:05 pm
As we begin another week of free agency, Alex Bregman remains unsigned, but one of the Astros reported targets Anthony Santander has a new home.
Santander has reportedly agreed to a 5-year, $92.5 million contract with the Blue Jays. Many were hoping that the Astros would make a play for the switch hitting power hitter, as he would have provided some serious thump.
Now it appears the Astros will enter the 2025 season with one of the weakness outfields in baseball when it comes to offense.
Speaking of Bregman, Astros manager Joe Espada recently told Fox 26's Nate Griffin that the team is still in contact with Breggy despite General Manger Dana Brown telling the media the team decided to pivot after talks stalled with Bregman's camp.
If there still remains a possibility of Bregman returning, one has to wonder if the Astros reported 6-year, $156 million contract offer is still on the table after the club traded for Isaac Paredes to fill the hole at third base. And if they do make a deal with Bregman, what do they do with Paredes?
Also, now that we know how much money Santander commanded on the open market. Which signing would have benefited the Astros the most? Santander at 5-years, $92.5 million, or Bregman at 6-years, $156 million?
Don't miss the video above as we discuss the possibility of Bregman returning, the Dodgers' absurd free agency (that now involves even more deferred money), Billy Wagner, and much more!
