Latest news and updates about the Texans
Mike Tomlin stepped down as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers in January following the team’s 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans in the wild card round, marking the ninth consecutive season without a playoff win. And while it has been three months since Tomlin resigned, the ripples of the longest tenured head coach […]
In incredibly unsurprising news, the Falcons have picked up Bijan Robinson’s fifth-year option, guaranteeing the star RB is with the Falcons on a rookie deal at least through the 2027 NFL season. From the team’s release: Robinson was originally selected by the Falcons eighth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Texas. In three […]
We are 14 days out from the start of the NFL Draft. Houston enters with eight total picks including four in the top 70. That draft capital will inevitably move and shake according to the whims of General Manager Nick Caserio. What’s more prevalent is not when the Texans draft, but who. Houston Texans 2026 […]
In an attempt to keep the playing field as level as possible, the NFL has fairly strict controls on what teams can and cannot do in the offseason as far as coaching up players, installing schemes and other necessary preparations for the coming season. NFL Communications NEW YORK — April 3, 2026 — Voluntary offseason workout programs […]
The Texans are continuing to have an active offseason: KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson has just reported that Houston is exercising the fifth-year option on QB CJ Stroud and DE Will Anderson: Under these options, CJ Stroud will be due $25.904 million and Will Anderson will be due $21.512 million in 2027. As of the 2026 league […]
As you’ll see in an article later this week, this will be the most complicated draft to predict in the Nick Caserio era. Balancing needs, positional value, and Caserio’s draft strategy creates a tangled web of conflicting priorities. The Houston Texans’ biggest need, defensive tackle, has never been drafted by Caserio earlier than the sixth […]
This will probably end up being a series of posts because there is more than one way to rate your general manager’s drafting. In this edition, we are looking only at the Texans drafts. Nick Caserio has five drafts in the books, so it seems like a perfect opportunity to look back. We will look […]
Taylor Doll continues her Making Monsters’ NFL Draft series of podcasts with an interview with Tony Catalina, who covers Texas A&M for the Austin Statesman. They break down several Aggies prospects, including EDGE Cashius Howell, who has been linked to the Chicago Bears in some recent mock drafts. They also discuss wide receiver KC Concepcion, […]
The NFL Draft hasn’t started yet, but that doesn’t the Texans can’t get busy. Jonathan M Alexander just reported that the New England Patriots are sending a 2027 seventh-round pick and LB Marte Mapu to the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick: A former third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Mapu […]
The New England Patriots and former third-round draft pick Marte Mapu will go their separate ways. On Tuesday, the third-year linebacker and special teamer was informed of his upcoming release. That never happened: instead of getting cut, Mapu was eventually traded to the Houston Texans as part of a late-round draft pick exchange in 2027. […]
The New England Patriots were ready to release Marte Mapu on Tuesday, but the move never materialized. The 26-year-old will still be playing elsewhere in 2026: instead of getting cut by the Patriots, the team reached an agreement with the Houston Texans for a trade. The Patriots will send Mapu and a 2027 seventh-round draft […]
Update 4/7/2026: Patriots reverse course, trade Marte Mapu to Texans instead of release Marte Mapu will indeed be leaving the New England Patriots, but his departure will happen differently than previously reported. Instead of getting released, he has been traded to the Houston Texans. According to a report by Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston […]
With the coming of draft season, we enter a realm of instant grading. However, there is the school of thought that it takes 3 years to really figure out if a draft pick will pan out in the NFL. This, in theory, accounts for the slow-developers and/or the rookie flash-in-the-pans that can’t further evolve into […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering a new era in the post-Mike Tomlin world. Tomlin stepped down as Steelers head coach in January following Pittsburgh’s 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans I the wild card round of the NFL playoffs.

The Houston Texans hit the 2026 off-season with a lot of uncertainty. Would they fix the issues that plagued the 2025 offense? Would quarterback C.J. Stroud stay or go? What was general manager Nick Caserio going to do about the dysfunctional offensive line? So far, Caserio has brought in a host of solid free agents […]
Since Matt Weston and Brett Kollmann bequeathed the site’s draft analysis to me, I’ve always felt closely tuned in to who the Texans are picking come each April. For instance, the 2024 Texans draft class was full of prospects I projected landing in Houston, including Kamari Lassiter, Cade Stover, and Jamal Hill. Even though Nick […]
Nick Caserio’s masterclass of an offseason will reach a crescendo in less than one month when the 2026 NFL Draft commences. The Houston Texans General Manager has filled just about every starting spot on the roster before the draft, which places the team in a unique position to truly draft the best player available. Even […]
Sports championships. A measuring stick for civic pride, and, in theory, the goal for any pro sports organization (words from the owners of the LA Angels notwithstanding). One could argue that sporting competition has replaced the old wars between city-states as a way to show the superiority of one city/state over another. Granted, some of […]

The Texans had arguably the best pass-rushing duo in the league last season in Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter. Both earned All-Pro honors, and it’s safe to expect they’ll once again be among the league’s elite in 2026. Most teams struggle to find even one high-level pass rusher. The Texans have one on each […]
When Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio took over the role in January of 2021, he agreed to take the wheel of a sinking ship. The years of Bill O’Brien, Jack Easterby, David Culley and the like had run fan confidence to a near all-time low for Houston sports. Empty seats were often common in […]

The Los Angeles Rams continue to have uncertainty at backup quarterback, and should consider trading for Texans QB2 Davis Mills. Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton suggested Mills to the Rams as a trade the team should consider to fill their biggest weakness.
