The Houston Texas have decided to do away with one of their own Ryan Mallett and decided to end his contract instantly. Mallet has been a fan of lateness for training and even games. Lately, he missed the team’s charter flight for the game with a traffic excuse which would later be claimed to be a stale excuse. He was at one time late for training and claimed that it was his clock that had broken.However, the team decided not to condone his excuses and eradicate him from the team on Tuesday.
However, his released has a backup as NFL media reporter Rand Getlin claimed that the Texans has incorporated T.J. Yates in their squad. Yates has been finding his footing in the Texans play and had been in the starting lineup for their last two preseason victories. He provides a good cover for Brian Hoyer who is out for the rest of the season.
Nonetheless, Mallett may not be missed much by the team and fans. Texans signed the former New England Patriot as a free agent last season. He only started in two games in the 2014 season and later suffered a pectoral muscle injury. On his return, he couldn’t displace Brian Hoyer in the starting lineup. He however started in his team’sunappealing loss to Kansas City in week 1.
Ironically, he was at the starting berth for the team in four occasions only and portrayed a worse start in the entire league. The team heads were fed up with him and his last blow was when he missed the team’s flight on Saturday.
According to the Houston Chronicles, Mallett was to be released over the weekend by O’Brien only for general manager Rick Smith to prevent this having in mind that the team had only Hoyer as the lone quarterback during the Sunday’s game in Miami where the team was trailing 41-0 by half time.
Mallett now is a free agent. It is yet to be enticing to see if another team will offer him a chance to redeem himself after a boring time with the Texans. Nonetheless, he will have to wait until the preseason until he acquires a job.
