What are the odds he ends up in Arizona?
I always thought bad teams had the leverage when it came to released players. Future Miami Dolphin or something like that

So, what happened
Mercilus may be past his prime, but he can still help a contending team as a pass rushing specialist. We don’t think he’ll be out of work long.

In the meantime, second-year pro Jonathan Greenard (team-high four sacks) and fourth-year vet Jacob Martin will get most of the work for the Texans at defensive end.

I would think that Golden and Jones and them being pegged to be on the field in passing situations would mean that Merciless would go elsewhere.

Places like Green Bay or KC offer way more opportunity and equal title hopes.

Green Bay probably does make the most sense. KC does need production on the dline but Im not sure it would be clear that Merciless would emerge as the starter. Chris Jones, in theory, will be playing on the edge some still and Frank Clark is paid a ton of money. Packers are also likely uncontested in their division.

I have seen no comment yet from GM Aaron Rodgers if Packers will be pursuing Merciless :thumb:

He is probably pretty busy considering he is the GM and QB of the Packers on top of hosting Jeopardy and owning the Chicago Bears

Well appears GM Aaron Rodgers had some time on his hands after all.

Pass-rusher Whitney Mercilus to sign with Green Bay Packers

Mercilus, who was released by the Texans on Tuesday after spending 10 seasons with that franchise, turned down more money elsewhere to join Green Bay's defense, the source said.

Really starting to feel like a "last dance" for Rodgers going all in when they can and looking at 2022 cap situation. Unfortunately NFC looks very strong at top this year.

I'm seeing now reports the Texans are going to trade Mark Ingram back to the Saints.

Yeah ownership and Caserio are hurting the ability of the team to compete years down the road by looking like a bunch of idiots this year. Player perception is more important than a swap of late round picks. Another of the my way or the highway Patriot guys that will likely fail because it was never about the approach as much as it was about the players they had.
