1. Martavis Bryant

The Oakland Raiders like trading players, and it is evident the front office doesn’t want to win any more games this season, so the Houston Texans might want to offer some sort of draft choice to sign Martavis Bryant for the rest of this season.

Bryant is a free agent after this year, so the Texans wouldn’t be giving up a lot to get him. Houston does have all their picks available for a trade, including two second-round picks, but the first-round pick is out of the question in this trade scenario.

With the Raiders this season, Bryant has 14 receptions for 220 yards and no touchdowns. Bryant has had some solid seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers in his first four seasons in the NFL, but with all the Raiders have gone through this season, who knows what Bryant is capable of.

If the Texans are serious about winning the rest of the season and depending on the overall status of Will Fuller’s injury, taking a look at Bryant or other wide receivers is a must. Otherwise, the depth chart of the Texans wide receivers could cause for some sleepless nights for the coaching staff.

Houston owes it to Deshaun Watson and to the fan base to bring in the proper players for his overall success as well.
