Texans Player Transaction DISCUSSION Thread

Yes............but most teams used to cold and windy weather are smarter as to when to or not to try to kick FGs (specifically as concerns maximum distance).

Here's a great 2024 article with its graphs that addresses this.

At least he let the team know before minicamp… Texans using a top 100 pick on the position (Jaylin Smith) looks even better now knowing that Darby will not be here as vet insurance.

Darnit! I was looking forward to watching him being repeatedly torched. There should be another aging vet out there willing to be a human pinata for a swan song.

Probably need to add another CB through trade, fa, cut downs.

Here is a list of available FA CBs. Most are around age 30+. One name that jumps out at me is Emmanuel Moseley, who was with DeMeco in San Fran.

I am hoping for some releases as we get closer to regular game one. The free agents have been picked over and I'm not interested in any.

Just checked and Foley Fatukasi's contract has finally been posted, it's 1yr 2.8M. If he gets/stays healthy that will be a nice deal for the Texans.

I agree on the lookout for released players from teams that have a solid lineup.
