I am a son, foodie, gamer, father, grandfather, backpacker, roommate, cat lover, Texan, reader, artist, and time waster. One thing I am not is Rick Smith. Rick Smith is the general manager of the Houston Texans. I am not the general manager of the Houston Texans. I did not play college football. I have never coached football. I did not get into the Broncos‘ front office. I don’t have incriminating photos of one Robert McNair. I am not those things, but you could imagine what it would be like if I was.
If I was Rick Smith with about $24 million in cap room to work with, the first thing I would have done is franchise tag A.
