Eric Winston Released

[Ruff]

Dear Jesus, pay the man.

Eric Winston is on the way out in Houston.

Winston, an offensive tackle who has started all 16 games for five straight seasons, wrote on Twitter on Monday evening that the Texans informed him they’re letting him go.

We noted a week ago that Winston’s $5.5 million base salary made him a candidate to be asked to take a pay cut or restructure his contract, but the Texans’ decision to release him today still comes as a surprise. It was a shock to Winston.

hmm

Now he's an OL actually worth talking about, albeit one we probably can't afford.

[Proudiddy]

Yes please.

[Dpantherman]

Only in your wet dreams

He played all 16 games five years in a row. Better than Otah!

sign em all, there is no cap. Just go ahead and sticky the "sign em Hurney" for all the guys getting released

some of you guys think the NFL is the US Government who just spends without restraint on anything their "voters" want.

Alas, the rest of society, including the NFL does not operate like the feds.

So every time a player gets cut, we have to have a new thread? Really?

Which is directed at a guy who keeps posting about the salary cap news. There's no need to be a douche, I think I understand how the salary cap works, look at some of my posts.

This is the off-season, Zod allows for NFL talk to be put in the Panthers forum, sorry you didn't know that.

which means as soon as we sign him, he is bound to get injured!

[rico6]

Just because his last name is Winston is an instant yes in my eyes.

[Brandon]

He's a guy I'd love to have here, but we can't afford him. :(

[TruCatzFan]

This could really be a GREAT move for us in all honesty.

But then again, he'd probably rupture his Achilles or some crazy poo in training camp for us.

It's just our luck!

land him and cut otah on the spot for the cap room?
