00:00Question of the day might have to wait.
00:01Wait, let me make sure that I'm seeing this correctly.
00:03And making sure that this is indeed the right person.
00:05I believe that this is.
00:07It seems like Tom Pelissero is breaking news right now.
00:11Is that a quarterback that I saw?
00:12You want to hit the sounder, Figgy Fig?
00:13Because I feel like this is worthy of the sounder.
00:15Is this Texans breaking news?
00:16This is Texans breaking news, if I'm seeing this correctly.
00:19Wow.
00:20Okay.
00:23Sports Radio 610.
00:25Houston Texans breaking news.
00:27All right, this is per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media.
00:31A trade has happened.
00:33The Lions are sending running back David Montgomery to the Texans.
00:37Sources tell the insiders.
00:39What the hell is going on here?
00:40Corresponding moves.
00:42I got to go back and find that segment where we sounded smart.
00:48I love that.
00:49This is, okay, feel very, very good about that.
00:52I think that this is what I had hoped for when the Texans drafted Woody Marks.
00:57I thought, hey, maybe Joe Mixon and Woody Marks can be like this David Montgomery and
01:01Jameer Gibbs duo up in Detroit.
01:04And it turns out that Joe Mixon apparently got bitten by a radioactive spider or something
01:10in the offseason.
01:10So, we wouldn't know.
01:12Why not go out and get the actual guy that I modeled my hopes and dreams on, David Montgomery,
01:20and bring him down here.
01:21I like this a lot.
01:22I do, too.
01:23What did they trade for?
01:24How much?
01:25What?
01:25I have not seen.
01:26Nothing yet.
01:27Okay.
01:27Adam Schefter says that this is for a fifth-round pick.
01:30Fifth-round pick?
01:31Oh.
01:31That's why we were talking about it earlier and workshopping it.
01:34Oh, man.
01:35That had been the rumor mill, is that the Lions are looking to move Montgomery for a
01:39fifth-round pick.
01:40That was one of the first...
01:41Nick was like, fifth-round pick?
01:42No, no, no.
01:43I can do that.
01:43The two things that we immediately thought of when this trade went down at seven in the
01:47morning was, could there be a Trent Williams move coming?
01:51Not for a fifth-round pick, obviously.
01:53He's better than that.
01:54But does this Titus thing, moving on from Titus, open up a spot at tackle to where...
01:58And by the way, they can still go do that.
02:01I don't think a David Montgomery deal and a potential Trent Williams deal, if the Niners
02:06indeed are looking to move on from him, I don't think the Venn diagram of stuff that
02:09gets involved in those deals goes over each other at all.
02:13But the other thing was, hey, you're getting a fifth.
02:15The rumor was that they were looking for a fifth for David Montgomery in Detroit.
02:18You need a running back.
02:20He's a running back that is a less expensive option than some of the aisles you were going
02:25to be shopping in for Kenneth Walker.
02:27This probably eliminates Kenneth Walker or Travis Etienne or any of those guys, anybody
02:35in that 10 to 14 million range.
02:37This also likely eliminates, as we thought, Joe Mixon, right?
02:42Oh, yeah.
02:44The whole, all of the, you know, well, we'll find out, we'll see, we'll talk to him.
02:48That was very frustrating.
02:50That is now very much on the back burner.
02:52Honestly, he's probably gone because that's, what, 8 million that you can end up saving?
02:56Like, it would be irresponsible to not get that at this point with the dude of the caliber
03:00of David Montgomery coming in.
03:02I like that.
03:02Montgomery's got two years left on his deal.
03:04I think it's about 6 million this year and 7 and change next year.
03:08That's a good price range for him.
03:09Right.
03:09Well, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of an extension involved in it,
03:13just like there was with Joe Mixon.
03:14So we'll see what that is and whether we think it's too aggressive or not.
03:17But that, if you were down on the Titus Howard trade, this hopefully allays that a little bit.
03:25I think that on the sum total of things, as long as the Texans actually rebuild this offensive line
03:32somehow, David Montgomery could have a much better impact on the Texans' Super Bowl chances
03:36than Titus Howard would have.
03:38Yep.
03:38This is that one-two combo of David Montgomery and Woody Marks behind a solid offensive line,
03:46if they can build it, that's something to get really excited about.
