No surprises have come out of Houston as the first weekend of NFL free agency passed.
As expected, Dunta Robinson was not re-signed as the Texans were fine not having to pay an underachieving cornerback $10 million-plus.
The only other moves made by Houston thus far are reaching contract agreements with wide receiver Kevin Walter and punter Matt Turk.
The Texans have begun bringing in free agents who they intend on making an offer. According to the Houston Chronicle, former Kansas City Chiefs guard Wade Smith is schedule to meet with team officials on Monday and cornerback Leigh Bodden is expected to visit Houston later this week.
Bodden had five interceptions last season for the Patriots and is considered the top cornerback remaining in free agency after Robinson was signed by the Falcons to a six-year contract.
The Texans, who are in the market for a running back, are unlikely to pursue the likes of a LaDainian Tomlinson or Brian Westbrook.
Maybe they have learned from their free agent signing of 30-year old Ahman Green a couple years back.
