Whether we extend him or not before he hits free agency next spring is really the kicker. Losing key players to free agency is part of the game and something we should prepare ourselves for. Expect the worst while hoping for the best. Let's not forget, however, that the Texans invested not one but TWO picks on tight ends in this past April's draft. The team seems to be planning ahead for life without Owen Daniels, but you never know. He's a damn good player and I'm sure both sides will do whatever they can to ensure that OD is sporting the Battle Red, Steel Blue and Liberty White beyond 2009.

That said, Daniels is one of the top tight ends in the league over the past few seasons I want to see him in Texans gear for a long time. He's a key to our offensive effectiveness and it would be a shame to lose him to another team. Let's just hope that he has another BIG year and leads us to the promise land. Perhaps then we can help him realize his dream of making top TE money!
