Falcons Close To Trading CB Chris Houston To The Lions

ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter is reporting on his Twitter page that Atlanta is on verge of trading CB Chris Houston to Detroit for a 2010 sixth-round pick and a switch of draft positions in the fifth round. Schefter adds that the trade between Detroit and Atlanta should be complete Monday. Atlanta no longer had a need for Houston after signing Dunta Robinson who is projected to start along with veteran Brian Williams.

Wow really? I know he's slipped, but damn. I guess we're going Robinson/Grimes, Robinson/Williams or Robinson/Jackson

 

Ya they are pretty much trading him for half a handjob

I was really high on him when he came out

 

I think he could still get it done opposite a #1 guy. He's not a great corner, but he can stil get the job done with help around him. I guess I was wrong.

 

Robinson/Owens? With Williams at safety?

 

upgrade

 

Yea this is suprising, i thought he was gonna be a very good player, still can be, nice pickup for the Lions

 

Rarely does Chris Houston look back and locate the ball. He was burned a LOT last season. If he ever learns how to do do that he'll be good. As for now, this doesn't feel like a loss at all to Atlanta fans, in general.

 

Right, with work he could become a solid corner. He gives up big plays a TON though, especially in the pass interference department, because like you said, he doesn't look back.

 

I've also seen a rumor where we are getting the fourth and switching fifth rounders. That would be rape in my opinion. I'll be happy if we get any picks for him.
