Add Carr

The media consensus in Houston is that quarterback David Carr has taken his last snap for the Texans, but that doesn’t mean a trade is imminent.

First, the Texans must create a trade market for Carr, who was the No. 1 overall selection in the 2002 NFL draft but might fetch no more than a fourth-round pick.

There’s also the matter of bringing in a replacement quarterback, which means Jake Plummer would have to be traded or released by the Denver Broncos.

Plummer is a favorite of Texans coach Gary Kubiak, his former offensive coordinator with the Broncos, but it could be mid-March or later before Houston clears up its quarterback situation.
