Raheem Brock might be headed to the Houston Texans UPDATED

by Brad Wells on Aug 11, 2010 12:01 AM EDT in NFL General

There was an interesting Twitter exchange this evening between Robert Mathis and his one-time Colts teammate Raheem Brock. It went a little something like this:

Brock: Anyone know a nice place to eat in houston besides pappadeux? Lol some good seafood

Mathis: wtf....u in houston mane???

Brock: don't kno yet! We will see!

Perhaps I am reading too much into this. Perhaps I am tired after a VERY long day and I'm seeing things that simply aren't there.

Then again, the Texans will be without the cheating Brian Cushing for four games to start their 2010 season. Also, superstud Mario Williams is getting a second opinion on his "hip issue." Looks like the Texans are in need of some help along the d-line. Brock's just as good an option as someone like former Bills pass rusher Aaron Schobel. So, I guess after looking at all those variables, a Brock to Houston signing makes some sense.

We'll keep an eye out on this potential story if anything develops. Brock has not signed with another team since the Colts unexpectedly released him back in March.

I have to admit, it would just be weird to see Raheem Brock in a Texans uniform. Really, really weird.

[UPDATE]: Battle Red Blog has posted a Twitter link from Andy Simms at Players Rep Sports Management saying Brock is indeed visiting the Texans tomorrow.

They can have him

Brock’s just as good an option as someone like former Bills pass rusher Aaron Schobel.

I hope you were joking there. Not sure how much Schobel has left in the tank but Brock was/is AT BEST an average pass rusher.

I hope this doesn’t happen.. could the Texans be the new Titans going after ex-Colts?

But that was so sharp, picking up on this story just from that twitter exchange. Kudos.

I bet that is a great probability.....Texans explicityly say they NEED to beat the Colts....

since Titans have relative success after hiring so many ex-Colts…. division rivals are just going to do the same, hoping the schemes have not changed much, better than Spygate and is totally legal…. :(

If you see my smilieys, think of E.M.H. - our COLTs King of Smileys!

Nope

Too bad

Sorry Brock but u asked to be released..be careful what u wish for. Now ur jobless and hopefull to be on an AFC south bottom feeder. It seems like every Colt that leaves goes to a team that isnt even a contender.

Mario Williams

All this looking around by them recently for a veteran DE makes me wonder about Mario Williams. I realize he has been in practice some but from what I read he has lingering issues at the moment.

Schobel also appears to want more money then I thought and a few other teams have interest. And he might not make up his mind for a few weeks if he even plays.

I’m only bothered by the fact that he is a former Colt. I’m not too concerned about him joining the Texans and ripping it up against the Colts.

Good for Brock

Like BBS, I was a huge Brock fan. The guy was always a blast for the fans, always kept us laughing and was very happy to talk with people. I really hated to see him go, but it was his decision.

If he can go somewhere else and continue to play in this league, I wish him well…. he’s been here and helped us get where we are…

That being said, if he joins a rival division team……we’ll kick his a$$ and then go have dinner on him!
