I spoke with Roosevelt Barnes, the agent for Michael Boulware, who said that Boulware was very happy with the deal that sent him to the Texans for Jason Babin. He said that Boulware could see that with all the money that the Hawks spent on Deon Grant and Brian Russell in the offseason that his time was going to be limited, and that Tim Ruskell was kind enough to deal him to a place where his career could continue and he could see some playing time. With injuries to many of the Texans' defensive backs, Boulware should be able to contribute immediately. "It's a win-win trade for both sides," Barnes said. I also asked Barnes if Boulware's "hamstring injury" was a smokescreen because the deal was in the works, and he said it was a legit injury but that he will be ready for the opener.
