He stands to make a MINIMUM of $390k/year. What other profession can you get out of college and make that much? What else can a 21-23 year old do to make that kind of money legally? The absolute worst case scenario (assuming he makes the 53 man roster) is buy a nice house ($160-200k in the midwest), buy a decent car (a Kia Sorento for around $27-30k), pay the taxes for 5 years, pay the tax man and you are good with 2 things that can’t be taken from you – a paid for house and vehicle.

This is sad. I remember watching the first hard knocks and the guy who left the Ravens camp tried to come back 2 weeks later. Talk about regrets. You got one chance at this.

I hope it works out because the Texans need help at wide receiver. I guess they will give the young wide receivers a few weeks in camp to showcase their talent before they bring in a veteran. Calling Terrell Owens around Week 3 of the preseason may not be a bad idea given he is healthy enough and mentally ready to be a #2 or #3 wide receiver on a Super Bowl contender.

As a Texans fan, please stay away.

They have to leave the invitation open though, if they want to keep his rights. He quit on them and the Texans signed him instead of some other Free Agent. The Texans now want to make it as difficult as possible for him to go to another camp. He’ll get released, but not until after the Texans are forced to make a move on the roster. He just burned a big NFL bridge. He’ll never play a meaningful snap…
