Houston Texans acquire Keion Crossen from New England Patriots

The Houston Texans have major holes in the secondary — and have for several years — but on Saturday they addressed the need in the secondary first before adding to their offensive line.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Texans struck a trade with the Patriots for cornerback Keion Crossen.

According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans are sending a sixth-round pick to New England for the defensive back.

Crossen was drafted by the Patriots in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Western Carolina and may have been the odd man out due to the Patriots’ depth at the position.
