Because the NFL season never ends, we present our 2009 Offseason Roadmaps for front offices to navigate through the summer.

How many years were the Arizona Cardinals picked to finally have their breakout year? It seems like they were the dark horse pick to have a playoff run every offseason. But since they went to the Super Bowl last year, they can't be that sneaky hot team any more.

Maybe the Texans take over that spot. Their franchise has never had a winning season, and the last two 8-8 seasons have only resulted in higher expectations. Houston's offense ranks about the same as the Cardinal offense, their special teams is better and their defense worse. The Texans are trying to fix that bad defense by replacing a number of coaches on that side of the ball.

The Texans announced today that oft-injured and old running back Ahman Green and outside linebacker Morlon Greenwood have been cut. Green could never stay on the field, and Greenwood was pretty much a defensive liability on one of the worst defenses in the league.

This move is not unexpected given their poor production paired with having huge salaries relative to the rest of the team. This likely is the quiet end to Green's time in the NFL. In his 11 year career, he had 9045 yards rushing, 2865 yards receiving and 73 touchdowns. Six times he rushed for over 1000 yards, including 5 times in a row between the years 2000-2004.

The Texans win over the Jaguars meant both nothing and a lot.

"Nothing" in that it had no playoff implications.

"A lot" in that no Jaguars of note got injured, and that the Texans finished with their first .500 record in their team's history.

The Jaguars sat their quarterback, David Garrard and their running backs Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew. In the first round of the playoffs, they will have a rematch of the very entertaining Jags-Steelers game in Pittsburgh.
