Whilst Vonta Leach invited himself from Houston last week on Twitter, Houston general supervisor Rick Smith both isn?¡¥t very able to allow that occur or is engaging in some clever PR spin as he made it clear at a Tuesday press conference the Texans are nonetheless thinking about re-signing Leach:
"We?¡¥ve talked to Vonta and his reps, and he knows we want him back again," Smith said. "We?¡¥ve communicated that to him McCoy, Colt jerseys."

Smith known as the fullback place "a little bit of a dying art" when asked about the crop available in this year?¡¥s draft. His press conference ended having a query about what direction the Texans would go at fullback if Leach doesn't return.
"I think that there?¡¥s some choices," Smith stated. "We won?¡¥t know something about our ability to signal Vonta back before the draft, but I don?¡¥t think we?¡¥re going into the draft saying we?¡¥ve got to obtain a fullback. That?¡¥s kind of a bit of a hypothetical."
Sounds like, in the least, the Texans will make an effort to bring him back nonetheless. Remember that outdoors of Andre Johnson, the Texans have already been extremely hesitant to hand top-tier money to anyone at a position though. According towards the Houston Chronicle?¡¥s Jerome Solomon, who took a break from trolling Daryl Morey fans, the failure to deliver Leach back again would send the wrong message to the team:
Maintain losing ten video games a yr and also the Texans could have a heck of a lot less for which to be fiscally accountable. Really, one much more 10-loss marketing campaign and Smith might not be accountable whatsoever. He and Gary Kubiak could exit with each other Ricky Williams jerseys.
Don?¡¥t even try to speak about the cash being much better invested elsewhere. Leach?¡¥s signing won?¡¥t stop the Texans from signing other players, such as high-dollar totally free agents, who could blow their noses with Leach?¡¥s tidy little sum.
I?¡¥m not a big believer in the concept that the Texans have to re-sign Vonta Leach. Fantastic player, but all fullbacks should possess a cost tag that you don?¡¥t have to cross within this day and age. Nevertheless, Solomon does breach a good stage in his article: what kind of concept does it send towards the gamers and fanbase if the Texans don?¡¥t re-sign Leach? Especially weighed against the truth that Smith and Gary Kubiak have achieved absolutely nothing but a 9 win season in five years in Houston?
