The Broncos worked a sign and trade deal to send offensive lineman Chris Myers to the Texans in return for a sixth round draft pick in next month’s draft. This deal is a bit of a stunner, not so much that it happened based off of what Kyle reported earlier, but how it went down.
“Myers, a restricted free agent, worked out a four-year, $11 million deal that includes $3 million in guaranteed money with the Broncos and then Myers and the new deal were traded to the Texans for a sixth-round pick in next month’s draft.”
Looks like Kubiak would rather have the Broncos do the negotiating since they still gave up a 6th round pick in return for Myers. You can definitely tell there is a special relationship between the two organizations as something like this would most likely never happen elsewhere in the NFL. Can anyone elude to why the Broncos and the Texans would go this route rather than Houston signing him restricted as the article doesn’t elaborate a motive?
