SteelersNation36 128 Posted August 3, 2011 Vickers agreed to a two-year, $3 million contract with the Texans to replace Pro Bowl FB Vonta Leach, the Texans announced Wednesday. It's a homecoming for Vickers, who lives in Houston and grew up in nearby Beaumont. Vickers, who spent five seasons with the Browns, will compete with James Casey for the Texans' starting job. Sucks for the browns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted August 3, 2011 Vickers is not as good as Leach, but he is still a very solid FB and a good replacement for Leach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FartWaffles 1,857 Posted August 4, 2011 I like the signing of Vickers. Just in case the James Casey experiment doesn't go as planned, it's still nice to have a pure fullback on the roster. (That would have been Leach's spot anyways) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
