ET80 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/02/14/texans-release-vernon-hargreaves/ A mid-season add after getting waived by the Tampa Bay Bucs, Hargreaves was due $9.5mm on his 5th year deal. He preformed well for the Texans for the most part, chalking up 21 tackles and looking like a competent #2 CB for the Texans. It'll be interesting to see what sort of market he'll get, but I can see the Texans bringing him back on a lesser deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoboRocket Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 At first I was surprised to see this, since BOB has us in win now mode, but I suppose DBs just aren't important. Someone will probably overpay for Hargreaves and then we'll be looking for people again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't bad, and helped to shore up our situation on the perimeter. Overall, I'd say he was above average, and he has upside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been pretty good for us - picked up the system well, made a few good plays. It's hard to judge this secondary because there was absolutely zero pass rush on this team - but he looked competent, might be our future #1 CB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great... not horrible.... he made what seems like a lot of plays on the ball (not INTs, but passes defensed). I believe the franchise views him as a solid CB2 for the future.

jrry32 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I still am shocked that Vernon busted so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awsi Dooger Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Cornerbacks bust all over the place but somehow scouts and fans don't want to believe it so nobody says a word and they keep getting shoved into the first round. It will happen again this year. Seattle is seemingly the only team that figured this out years ago...wait for the length guys to slip instead of forcing small handed short armed guys like Hargreaves into the first round.

Every position busts. Corner is one of the hardest positions in the NFL to play in the modern NFL, especially considering the rules, how it's tied in with the pass rush and what other players around you are doing It's all about what they are asked to do as well. Seattle needs guys with length because that's what their scheme requires. Their best corner is Griffen, does he have long arms? I don't think he does, not really known for his size. Corners take a few years to develop because it's such a nuisanced position as well If you actually think having long arms is the only criteria, then idk what to tell you.

VigilantZombie Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 He will land somewhere just on a much smaller contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Replying without actually replying to some giant posts about corners: Darby is absolute trash. It might be strange that the Eagles won the Super Bowl with him as a starter, but they did let Brady throw for 500+ in that Super Bowl. The Texans priority should be to find corners that can play. Conley can be your #1 corner if 6-10 is your goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
