The Houston Texans spent the spring of 2023 recovering their image as an NFL laughingstock. Last spring signaled the Texans were a rising AFC contender. Recent reports surrounding this offseason suggest the Texans are now emerging as perhaps more notable: a destination for NFL stars.
Former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf asked for a trade from his ex-franchise over the weekend before moving to the Pittsburgh Steelers via a trade. However, a different AFC home appeared on Metcalf's radar.
The 27-year-old was reportedly "eyeing Houston" in a potential deal, per Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, which would have paired Metcalf with fellow big-bodied receiver Nico Collins.
