When the Houston Texans signed free-agent quarterback Quinn Gray from the Jaguars, the thinking was that the team might still be thinking about dealing backup Sage Rosenfels to the highest bidder. Per media reports, Rosenfels would be a Viking but for the fact that Minnesota was willing to give up a third-rounder, and the Texans wanted a second-rounder.
Rosenfels was never traded, and now the Texans apparently don’t need Gray.
So they cut him.
Per John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans thought that Gray didn’t adjust well to the team’s offense.
Also released was tackle Jordan Black, who jumped to the Texans from the Chiefs in 2007. Black started 15 games for the Chiefs in 2006, but none for the Texans in his only year with the team.
Black was scheduled to earn $1.3 million in 2008. Gray was due to earn a base salary of $605,000.

Quinn Gray isn’t any good any way.

Dealing Sage would have been a mistake for this team. Schaub isn’t exactly the toughest guy in the would and it can never hurt to have a backup who can play when called upon.

a friend of mine who is a jaguars fanatic and a fraternity brother of former jacksonville wide out ernest wilford said that quin gray actually throws a better ball than gerard and leftwitch and most of the jaguars wide outs liked quinn gray over both gerard and leftwitch.

Cliffclav - So you decided to continue on with your assertion that TB could sign him, even after the punchline was already delivered?

“a friend of mine who is a jaguars fanatic and a fraternity brother of former jacksonville wide out ernest wilford said that quin gray actually throws a better ball than gerard and leftwitch and most of the jaguars wide outs liked quinn gray over both gerard and leftwitch.”
If you saw any of the games that Gray played in for the Jaguars last season, you’d know that your friend is full of crap. Gray overthrows the receiver on alomost every pass he throws. Some people believed that Gray had a better deep ball than Garrard, but that’s it. If Wilford did really say that, it was prior to last season when Garrard struggled down the stretch of the 2006 season.

It’d be awesome if they also acquired Greg Blue.
