Weekly Houston Texans Q&A.
The Houston Texans have been extremely busy this offseason with free agency, along with the draft coming up in a little over a month.
There have been a few very good players added to the roster, and maybe a few questionable decisions. We will go through it all in this week’s Q&A.
The Stingley contract extension was the right move for the Houston Texans, even with the fact that they had to reset the cornerback market. Stingley has blossomed into one of, if not the best...

Follow every update throughout the first day of Free Agency
Today is the second day of NFL’s free agency period and the Houston Texans are looking to add to their roster. Battle Red Blog is tracking all the big updates and rumors throughout the opening bell of free agency.
Houston brings in journeyman CB Ronald Darby on a one-year, $2.5M contract, per Adam Schefter. Darby has spent time with six other franchises, never more than two years in one place. Corner was among the biggest depth concerns on the defense and now...

Even if not completely unforeseen, this move still stuns.
By the time of this publication, the news that the Houston Texans plan to open the 2025-26 season with a new long snapper will be an accepted fact. While the trades of LT Laremy Tunsil and LG Kenyon Green generated far more headlines and coverage, the news from late Thursday night that LS Jon Weeks signed a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers caught quite a number of fans off-guard. Granted, Weeks played 2024-25 on another one-year contract, and as a free agent, could sign anywhere else. Yet, he’d played...

The Texans awarded Derek Stingley with the richest contract for a cornerback in NFL history after another elite season.
On Monday morning, NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that the Texans are signing cornerback Derek Stingley to a historic three-year, $90 million contract extension, including $89 million guaranteed. The $30 million APY makes Stingley the highest paid defensive back in NFL history and shatters the previous high of APY for cornerbacks, most recently held by the Panthers’ Jaycee Horn ($25 million APY).
The move to extend Stingley has come following his best season yet in the NFL. In 2024, the former...

Texans address offensive line early in this post-free agency mock draft
Sure, free agency is still ongoing, but the Texans have among the least amount of cap space remaining and have mightily slowed down the number of frenzied moves since last week. Despite the media contentiousness, the team is in a strong position across the entire roster, except for the offensive line. Their 2024 achilles heel could be an unmitigated disaster heading into 2025. However, the Texans have seven picks in the draft to help solve this issue.
If you haven’t been following or panicking along with us on the...

The all-important draft haul will dictate if the Texans can make a run or not
The Houston Texans General Manager Nick Caserio is as wily a coyote as there are in the NFL. His unrelenting maneuvering through free agency and the draft make him one of the more aggressive and fluid GMs... but also one of the more risk-intensive in all of sports.
Caserio could have retained the entire offensive line for 2025. Instead, he chose to offload Kenyon Green, take a $14.6M cap hit on Shaq Mason, and ship off Laremy Tunsil for future draft capital. Now, the Texans...

A combination of review and a look ahead for a critical, if less-attention-grabbing, part of the team
Welcome to the optimism of the off-season. The offensive side of the ball will get the most attention, between the emphasis on improving the the offensive line and adding to the receiver room. Houston already took one step in that direction with their trade with Jacksonville to add Christian Kirk for at least the 2025 season. Of course, along with the interior of the line, Houston will need to settle that rather significant left tackle slot, as Laremy Tunsil will call the DMV...

What could a healthy campaign look like for the talented tight end?
I promised a series of these and silly free agency and trade news got in the way. So, here is the second installment of the “making the leap” series. Today’s feature looks at enigmatic tight end Brevin Jordan. At his very best, Jordan has tantalized Texans’ brass with an impressive combination of speed and power at the tight end position. At his worst, Jordan simply isn’t there.
Based on his first few seasons in the league, Jordan earned himself a nickname we use around these parts. We call...

The Texans added another great player to their secondary.
General Manager Nick Caserio added standout safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson from the Eagles via trade, which included sending former first-round left guard Kenyon Green to Philadelphia.
A rare player for player trade that could benefit both sides. Philadelphia is known for their offensive line talent, which is led by offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, and that is likely the best landing spot possible for Green, who is looking to reach the potential that allowed him to be drafted fifteenth-overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.
While Houston adds another extremely talented, high energy...

The Texans are solidifying their special teams group by signing LB Nick Niemann to a two-year deal.
The Texans are continuing to solidify their defense while also building a better special teams unit into a more impactful group with their latest signing.
Per NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Texans are signing former Chargers linebacker and core special-teamer Nick Niemann to a two-year, $6.5 million deal. The Chargers were reportedly interested in bringing Niemann back, but the Texans made the former sixth-round an offer he could not pass up.
In four seasons with the Chargers, Niemann played in 64 total games...
