Houston Texans DE Jason Babin is a former 1st-round draft choice who is scheduled to make nearly $1.3M this season. For the past two seasons he has been a fixture in the Texans 3-4 defense at OLB, a position that takes advantage of his outstanding athleticism and pass rush ability. But new head coach Gary Kubiak is installing a 4-3 scheme that will force Babin to move to DE and play with his hand down. That’s not his strength, and at 6-3, 252, he lacks the size and bulk to play in the trenches in that kind of defense. As a result, he is listed as the 3rd RDE on the team’s depth chart. The Texans don’t figure to pay that kind of money to a player who doesn’t figure to be even a primary backup, and aren’t likely to keep him around if he doesn’t fit what they plan to do on defense.


What do you guys think about the dolphins Signing him?
 
Could be an option, he's fits in our defense.
 
If they are stupid enough to cut Babin we should be running up to him with a contract!
 
you think they cut him or what? if, i would agree to look at him, he played well as a 3-4 olb in dom capers defense...

Like I said if they cut him they are stupid!!!! You dont cut the 27th pick after two years.
 
I think the author of this thread is trying to connect the dots.There is some logic to it.

The Capers connection,the defensive scheme changes etc but I doubt that he will be made available .If he is cut we should look into it for sure.
 
Gary Kubiak is not quite that stupid. He won't let a player like Jason Babin go without getting some kind of compensation. If they part ways with him at all (which I doubt) it would only be through a trade. They may be looking for a team with depth on the offensive line for a trade. However, my guess is that they will be working with him to find ways that he can be productive in their new defense.
 
They arent cutting him. His list weight is 260, but his playing weight in college was 280 when he had his hand down. He shed 20 lbs. before the draft and moved to olb. He is better in space coming off the edge, but he can still develope as a DE and take on Tackles and TE's. I say theres no way the texans cut him.
 
I'd rather sign him over Donnie Edwards...
