Eric Winston ‏ @ericwinston

Unfortunately I have bad news. The Texans have decided to release me today. Although it is a surprise, I have nothing but positive memories

Well, I didn't see that coming and I don't think Texans fans did either. This is one of the few times you will ever see me say this but... for the right price? Yes, please.

We could use some OL help

Get Redskins One ready.

[TheREALJBird]

He is literally an ideal fit for our Oline, get this guy signed.

[acuratl1984]

Redskins should have the a good chance to get this guy, ZBS to ZBS, Shanny Jr, and what not. Bye Bye J Brown.

[Stophovr6]

Is he any good? Why would the Texans cut him?

Texans informed RT Eric Winston of his release.
The shocking move clears $5.5 million in base salary. Winston hasn't missed a start since his 2006 rookie season, and has been a key cog in the Texans' highly productive zone-blocking scheme. Despite the release, Winston won't have trouble exceeding what the Texans were going to pay him on an incredibly thin offensive tackle market. Only 28 years old, Winston should appeal to other zone-blocking clubs like the Redskins. Pro Football Focus graded Winston as a top-six right tackle last season. He was 11th overall in PFF's rankings.

Yes sign him up asap. Perfect fit, good kid, hard worker and a hurricane!

[GibbsFactor]

Pick him up on the way back from San Diego!

[CoolHandLuke]

Get on it Kyle! I would be shocked if we didn't get him.

[braindx]

Cut Jammal Brown. Sign this guy.

Significant upgrade.

Texans cut Leinart, too. Can't fault them for that one, Yates looked as good in limited action as Leinart ever has. That doesn't mean that I think Yates played particularly well, either

He is a good starter at RT, should fit right into the ZBS and he's on the right side of 30. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up here.

Williams and Winston. Bookend W's

He's 28

[blitzpackage]

He's 28

The right side of 30, meaning under it

But yeah this guy is totally going to be a Skin.
