WORKING THE PHONES
Benjamin Allbright is reporting that the Houston Texans have reached out to the Eagles and asked what Philly is looking to get in return for Carson Wentz. Allbright later clarified on Twitter that the Texans were curious about the "price tag" on Wentz, and were not reaching out to make an offer. This actually makes a lot of sense for the Texans to get a feel for the QB trade market. This information could prove helpful if the Texans eventually have to trade Watson, and acquire some draft picks to spend. Not that they should spend those picks on Wentz necessarily, but as a way to gauge the current value of QBs in general. So, fear not Texans fans, it doesn't look like the Texans were doing anything more than due diligence.
They've talked, as has Indy.
Niners and (surprise) Texans have made calls that I'm aware of.
Lot of "offers" getting leaked, which usually means the team shopping a player is still fishing. https://t.co/6frz0uWMdc

"Calling' about a player and "making an offer" are not the same thing.
Smart teams want to know the price tag on everything.

This week on Undisputed, Skip Bayless and Keyshawn Johnson share their thoughts on the NFL MVP odds for the upcoming season.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is the favorite, but Texans QB CJ Stroud is in second, right behind him.

Does Stroud deserve this amount of respect in just his second season? Both Bayless and Johnson agree that he does! Keyshawn makes the point that Stroud was in MVP consideration last year. So why not this season? The Texans added Stefon Diggs and Joe Mixon to Houston's already lethal offense.
