Not sure why we would be in on it… unless we want him to come in be 3rd OT and maybe bridge to Manu/rookie if Decker leaves in the offseason… but I dont recall him being very good these days

uggh….

$12 million contract… $10.75 mill guaranteed.

No thanks.

….. edit….

I was a bit too hasty to post the contract info.

Texans already paid $8.75 million of it…

so a team trading for him would pay $2 million base salary…
and up to $1.25 million in per game roster bonus….

so max of $3.25 million for 2025 only.

That’s probably why they want to trade him.

More than Skipper or Manu? Somehow, I doubt it.

Probably not (not yet in Manu’s case), but he’ll get Goff absolutely killed at least 5 times if he has to play and we will all come to hate him.

They just cut Trent Brown (so they’ve probably decided to hold on to Robinson), just sign him.

Oh I didn’t know it was Payton. Never mind…

Trent Brown would be a fun jumbo TE.

Yeah I don’t really want him either. But better him for free than to pay anything for Cam Robinson.

I’d rather have Trent Brown at RT for a few games if it came to it rather than any of our current plan Bs.

If he’s cheap enough, I agree. I mean honestly Robinson is probably an upgrade. We’re pretty thin at tackle.

Yep. Really want one in the 2026 draft. Preferably one that is mostly ready to go (in a reserve capacity).

The Texans trade interest is via Adam Schefter, but doesn’t mention the Lions:

@AdamSchefter

A name to watch today: Texans LT Cam Robinson, whom the team has discussed trading, per sources. Rookie Aireontae Ersery has impressed this summer and looks ready to man the Texans’ left tackle position.

Is Adam Schefter more plugged in than Mike Payton? I can’t remember.

Hey now, Payton broke like 2 cuts so far!

Paper and hair?

Well hopefully we got a good look at him during joint practices and last year in the second game against Minnesota. Doubt we would trade for him but our depth at OT is pretty scary right now.

If anything happens to Decker or Sewell, Goff is going to need more hospital insurance.
