Although the ink from the Jadeveon Clowney trade hadn’t yet dried, the Houston Texans made a bold swoop, acquiring left tackle Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Kenny Stills from the Miami Dolphins to make a strong statement of intent. Usually, head coaches and GMs are somewhat at odds. General managers may feel more job security
Month: August 2019
The Miami Dolphins accepted two first-round picks and a second from the Houston Texans for two key starters, signifying that they are indeed all-in on losing. Usually, when an NFL team acquires a quarterback drafted No. 10 overall in the previous class for a high draft pick, they are committed to putting talented pieces around
Just hours after sending Jadeveon Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks, the Houston Texans acquired left tackle Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Kenny Stills in a separate trade with the Miami Dolphins.

In need of a proven commodity in their running back rotation, the Houston Texans have acquired Carlos Hyde.

The Houston Texans traded Jadeveon Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks for almost nothing in return, but despite all of their missteps this offseason, fans don’t need to panic about their team’s chances.

The Houston Texans won the AFC South last season with an 11-5 record, but a dysfunctional offseason could give another team an easy opening to unseat them. Since the Houston Texans won the AFC South last season and the second-placed Indianapolis Colts lost franchise quarterback Andrew Luck to retirement, Bill O’Brien’s squad should be the
The Seattle Seahawks absolutely fleeced the Houston Texans when they acquired Jadeveon Clowney, and the addition of an elite edge defender means Seattle has to be viewed as a legitimate Super Bowl contender again.

The Cowboys front office likes to act like Ezekiel Elliott will return anytime, but the coaching staff is actively preparing for a reality without their star.

Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers may finally be on its way to reversing its recent misfortunes on the defensive side of the football.

The Minnesota Vikings were the NFL’s biggest disappointment last year. Instead of blowing the roster up, confidence was shown with relative inaction.
