With DeShaun Watson at quarterback and J.J. Watt leading a stout defense, anything is possible for the Houston Texans.
The Texans retooled their secondary and offensive line. Houston lost cornerback Kareem Jackson to Denver and safety Tyrann Mathieu to Kansas City in free agency but responded to those departures by signing cornerback Bradley Roby from, oddly enough, Denver, cornerback Briean Boddy-Calhoun from Cleveland and safety Tashaun Gipson from AFC South-rival Jacksonville. The Texans also used a second-round pick on cornerback Lonnie Johnson.
After what appears to have been a solid offseason, the Texans fired general manager Brian Gaine in June. Coach Bill O’Brien will help fill the void – and help pick Gaine’s successor. And speaking of shopping, will the GM-less Texans trade prized pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney? The 26-year-old has not signed his $15.97 million franchise tender. The first pick of the 2014 draft, Clowney has been selected for three consecutive Pro Bowls. According to NFL Network, Clowney is on the block and could be moved sooner than later.
Anger had a 45.0-yard average last season for Tampa Bay but was released in March. The Texans signed him on July 23 but he’s in a heated battle with Trevor Daniel.The Texans were sunk without Watson in 2017 and were fortunate he was able to play through a partially collapsed lung and broken ribs last year. The Texans took out an insurance policy by inking A.J. McCarron to a one-year contract in free agency.
