Arian Foster's contract is coming up...do you think he will get the Chris Johnson Package? Top-5-Player money? How far will the Texans go to keep the guy who carried their offense over his back like a sack of potatoes?
Far. Really fucking far.
A few months after your first playoff appearance, first playoff win, and first legitimately successful season is the WRONG time to let your best offensive weapon walk away.
Now that being said they do have a serviceable backup and he has been hurt a little more often than an owner would like to see. He won't get Johnson money, nor do I think he'll be the insufferable diva Johnson was, but he's not going to have to worry about making his mortgage payments either.
While Foster does have almost everything going for him this is absolutely the worst time to be a free agent running back. Every executive and owner saw CJ give a 50% effort and suck out loud this year after getting paid out last off season, and nobody wants to be the one with that in their lap next year.
He should just walk into the office with a boombox playing THIS song... Then when he settles for a hundred million Houston will think they got a steal!
