Actually, he doesn't want to play for the Texans. Unfortunately for him, they hold his rights for a year. IMHO, it would be in his best financial interest (if he leaves baseball for football) to sit out the year, train for football, and then re-enter next year's draft and get Top-10 money. With the round that he was drafted in and the Texan's cap situation, they won't be able to give him much more than the minimum.

He should sit the year out and come back next year, I agree. I don't much care for him...but wish him the best of luck.
