WORKING THE PHONES
Report: Texans contacted Eagles about Carson Wentz
Here's what to make of the report. Composite image by Jack Brame.
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.
