The Facts: Only days after he reportedly was benched for running his mouth, Mason has been shipped to the Texans, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. Per McClain, the Jets traded Mason to the Texans for a conditional draft choice.

Diehards Line:As PFT's Mike Florio noted, the move caps a series of events in which: (1) the New York Daily News reported that Mason and Santonio Homes and Plaxico Burress complained to coach Rex Ryan about offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer; (2) the Jets issued a statement denying the report not long before kickoff of Sunday’s game against the Patriots; (3) Mason was benched, reportedly for complaining; and (4) Mason denied that he complained -- and all involved denied it was an issue. ... Whatever the case, as Florio summed up: "Now Mason can complain — or not complain — and be benched — or not benched — in Houston."
