So, are we not getting o-linemen because of the cap rape?

That would be a bummer.

Your about to be real pissed like I am when you find out how cheap Eric Winston was.

4 years $22 Million 10 mill guaranteed

That is why it was a must to get a track star for a qb.

winston is the best RT in the league? was that list for the CFL? he's not bad, but is still serious hurt. I would have liked him at that price, but you can't win all the time.

Why was Winston cut as opposed to traded? and why did the move happen so late

As a seller of his services, if Winston indeed wanted to play for a "winner", then that means loser teams who have to pay a substantial premium in order make up for his loss in "happiness" in playing for a loser. KC is only a couple years removed from their division title win, and they do have budding talent, so he indeed gave a "winner" discount for his services.

In short, Eric Winston was never in our marketplace to begin with.

KC was so upset with their state of the franchise that they fired their head coach. No way are they a winner.

Does Eric Winston give two shits about that? It's HIS perception(heavily influenced by his agent) about a teams' potential to win games that matters. He's seeing Jamaal Charles, Brandon Flowers, the dude who had a great season in New England, Bowe, etc, and a team that once won the division a couple years back. Firing a head coach, ultimately, is mostly a symbolic gesture. Judging the "winningess" of team requires more weight to be put on the current talent on the team, "reputation", and recent history, etc.

Their recent history is they haven't won a playoff game since 1993, and they just finished last in the worst division in football.

Does being obtuse win you an award? They still finished with a better record (7-9) than us, and the players who led their team to a division title a couple years back is still mostly intact. And being in a weak division cuts both ways. It means it's easier to make the playoffs for everyone involved.

I don't know where the Winston wants to play for a winner talk came from, I've never actually seen a quote from him saying that.
That claim just seems like agent talk for pay me more money.
If he really wanted to play for a winner he would restructure his contract for Houston.

We can all speculate on why they couldn't pull off the Winston signing.
But all we can know is that it didn't happen.

when i think of a winner, the kansas city chiefs immediately come to mind
