The key to Houston's offense was Matt Schaub's chemistry with his receivers. Andre Johnson was the best wideout in football. And, before blowing out his knee, Owen Daniels was the best tight end.  

The Cincinnati Bengals released receiver Laveranues Coles on Thursday, exactly one year after they signed him to a four-year deal hoping he could replace T.J. Houshmandzadeh . Coles had only 43 catches for 514 yards and a touchdown last season. The Bengals tendered draft-level offers to linebackers Abdul Hodge and Rashad Jeanty , cornerback David Jones , guard Evan Mathis and defensive end Frostee Rucker .  

A few hours before the NFL's free agency period began, the New York Jets improved their secondary in a big way by agreeing in principle with the San Diego Chargers to acquire talented but troubled cornerback Antonio Cromartie on Thursday night.

The Houston Texans have made qualifying offers to seven restricted free agents in an effort to keep them with the franchise, retaining the right of first refusal on all of them. At the top of the list is Pro Bowl tight end Owen Daniels and Pro Bowl linebacker DeMeco Ryans. If the Texans were to allow Daniels and/or Ryans to leave they would receive first and third-round picks as compensation, which makes it unlikely either is going anywhere.
