INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush might not land with the Houston Texans after all. Texans general manager Charley Casserly said Sunday that the Texans have been talking to teams about possibly trading the first pick in the 2006 draft.

It has been widely speculated that the Heisman Trophy winning running back out of Southern California would end up with the Texans because they recently gave quarterback David Carr a three-year contract extension.

The Texans, who finished 2-14 last season, have multiple needs that might be filled with one major move.

"There's clearly players at the top of this draft that are marquee players," Casserly said. "Players that are impact players, players that are going to go to the Pro Bowl, players that are going to sell tickets. We're going to get offers for this pick. We've already had discussions with teams. I think there's value in our pick.

"Whether it's Reggie Bush, Vince Young or Matt Leinart, those three players are going to produce trade offers. We are definitely going to have some choices when it comes to draft day."

someone moving up to get matt maybe?

Fantasy Trade:

Saints get Texans' first pick.

Texans get Stallworth, Sully, Jacox, Gandy, Watson, and 2007 2nd round pick.

Cons - 1. that is alot of players to give up
2. Stallworth was our best receiver last year

Pros - 1. we can either draft Bush, or trade the pick again for a bargain price and get more picks
2. I hate all of those players

If they screw us out of Matt Leinart, that would only give me another reason to hate Texans.
