Texans are releasing veteran defensive end Whitney Mercilus (three sacks) as youth movement continues at the position, with team starting Jon Greenard (four sacks) and Jacob Martin, according to league sources @SportsTalk790
Houston has been such a mess of a franchise since January 12, 2020. That 2019 season seems to be his last productive season. My hope, if we do bring him in, is getting out of that culture and into ours, renews some sort fire. Can’t expect a whole lot though. [Reply]
@AaronWilson_NFL: Cut by Texans, Whitney Mercilus said 'It's tough.' Said no hard feelings, appreciates the organization noted 'It's a rebuild, honestly.' Noted 'it's a business' emphasized team wanting to go 'Younger and cheaper' which as he said is a priority for most NFL teams
that whole organization is a dumpster fire. It had to be a real drag to go to work everyday knowing it's a sinking ship.
as long as he's not too expensive, it'd be a smart move to sign him and put him in the rotation. At worst, he's a body and keeps others fresh. At best, he's as good or better than anyone else we've got. Win-win. [Reply]
