Free agency is days from kicking off and we have plenty of Houston Texans News for you.
While no one loves the NFL offseason since there aren’t any games, it’s still one of the most exciting times of the year for teams as well as fans.
It’s crazy how many news and rumors have been surrounding the Houston Texans since the 2016 season ended.
