My long Nigerian nightmare is over

Jul 27, 2007 2007 Draft, Amobi Okoye is 20, Gary Kubiak, Training camp 2007, Tremendous Busts

In addition to being 20 years old, Amobi Okoye is now a Houston Texan. (Hat tip to Mark, who continues to make my job easy.) Late last night, Okoye signed a 6-year (voidable to five) deal with $12.785MM in guaranteed money (out of a total $17.6MM).

With that move, everyone who is supposed to be at camp will be at camp, where Kubiak can begin the process of crushing dreams and releasing underperforming players. (Travis Johnson, I am looking at you.)

    Does anyone know how many years Travis Johnson has left on his contract? He is an expensive back-up, but we can use the depth. At least through the end of this season.

    Johnson signed a 5 year, $10.2MM ($7.7 guaranteed) contract in 2005. There must be an option year at the end of that or something, though, because they show him as signed through 2011.

    Ugh.
