The Houston Texans announced via press release that they’ve agreed to terms with their disgruntled star CB Dunta Robinson. A holdout throughout the preseason, Robinson will make upwards of $9 million this season after signing a one-year franchise tender. A SBN’s Texans blog points out, however, this raises another question (because yesterday was cut day, bro):
The one move that I am most curious abouth though, is the one that hasn’t been made yet. Dunta’s presence brings our roster to 54 players, and as of yesterday it is supposed to be done to 53. The last transaction listed on the Texans website is the signing of Robinson. I’m sure that a cut has been made or will be made before the day is out, but I’m just curious as to who it will be. FD thinks that Nick Fergusun might get the axe, and that Glover Quin will be switch to the safety position. What’s your guess?Sign a superstar, cut a scrappy overachiever. It’s a cold world out there.

Perhaps that’s why they decided to sell extra tickets to ticket brokers, instead of, you know, their fans. And it certainly explains the team’s curious decision to keep just two quarterbacks, as theycut Chase Daniel on Saturday.
