HOUSTON TEXANS LAND FREE AGENT RB CHRIS BROWN

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports a deal between the Texans and free agent Chris Brown is expected to be completed by THE END OF TODAY.

It sounds like Houston may be offering Brown a multi-year deal, but we won't know for sure until the contract is finalized. The Texans seem set to take a running back by committee approach in 2008.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record the Texans need a left tackle. Sound familiar? It should, because I and every other draftnik out there have been saying it in their mocks for half a decade now. Eventually the law of averages has to work in our favor, right? It goes without saying that neither Ephraim Salaam or Jordan Black are the long-term answer at the position and even if Charles Spencer makes it back from his career-threatening knee injury they plan to move him inside to guard. Chris Williams has a great blend of size and athleticism and would finally give Houston the stud they have been looking for. Cornerback is also a strong possibility here as well.
