McNair was asked for his reaction. “I think we are a contender,” he said. “That’s no surprise to me. I guess they got tired of losing money out there for putting our over-under number too low. They’re getting more realistic. A lot of things have to happen and you have to have some luck along the way. But there’s no question we’re a contender.” Source: Houston Chronicle (http://blog.chron.com/ultimatetexans/2012/05/no-question-were-a-contender-texans-owner-says/)

Our sources in North Florida tell PFW the contract extension that Jones-Drew is pining for isn’t coming anytime soon. Jones-Drew, the 2011 NFL rushing champion, has yet to say publicly that his absence from OTAs is because he wants an extension; rather that information was revealed by head coach Mike Mularkey last week. Word is Jones-Drew likely will join his teammates June 12 for mandatory minicamp to avoid having his salary docked. We’re also hearing that Jones-Drew is likely to downplay his absence, pointing to his preference to work out in his home state of California during the offseason rather than as a sign of unhappiness about his current deal.

When you haven’t passed a physical, you’re not going to step on the field.” Schaub is coming off of a Lisfranc injury that cost him the remainder of the 2011 season. Rookie T.J. Yates has been taking some extra reps during OTA’s with Schaub on the sidelines, but the Texans should have Matt back under center for their upcoming training camp.
