Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It’s unknown whether and to what extent the Texans will be paying a buyout to Penn State to secure O’Brien’s services. His most recent contract pegged the cost of an NFL team securing his services at nearly $7 million. The Texans fired Kubiak more than three weeks ago. They ultimately interviewed only three candidates — O’Brien, former Bears coach Lovie Smith, and interim head coach Wade Phillips. The Texans opted not to wait for the opportunity to interview Chargers coach Ken Whisenhunt. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, O'Brien could be introduced as soon as Saturday.
