Houston Texans agree to one-year deal with QB Matt Leinart - ESPN

I'm saddened to hear he will be the #3 out there. I think this kid is still talented and can do well for someone. I really think Arizona is dumb for letting Derek Anderson be their #1...he's a good back up, but that's it. Sure Leinart hasn't shown enough to be the man in Arizona, but I thought he would make amazing strides this year and would have put up great numbers. Oh well...maybe he'll be the next Rich Gannon or something. LOL.

In seeing the final contract I'm starting to think that Jets management is to blame for this mess. Some reports point to a difference in guaranteed money to be as minute as $5 million. Honestly $11.5 million per year is a little high for a corner but it's not that much more then Revis was worth. Then again part of me suspects that Revis just didn't want to go to camp. This deal is way off of the rumored 10 year $160 million deal that Revis was asking for.

Agree, the numbers that were thrown around by both sides for a 10 year deal were/are a joke. 160 mil by his side and no more than 120 by the owner's side. Revis would have been a fool to sign such a deal to tie himself up for 10 years.

BTW have you seen the Dick's Revis ad where at the end when Revis ask the kid his name and he replys "Ginn." "Priceless!"

Pretty sure he says Gilligan, not Ginn

It's a joke. Ted Ginn Jr is the only one to escape from Revis island. Why do I have the feeling that you're playing dumb on this one?
