The Houston Texans have made a concerted effort in addressing their secondary in the early portion of free agency. Houston added defensive backs, Jaylen Watkins, from the Los Angeles Chargers and Eric Murray from the Cleveland Browns. Both defenders have a background playing the cornerback position and could offer the Texans much-needed competition in the secondary.
The Texans also re-signed Bradley Roby, Phillip Gaines, and brought back Vernon Hargreaves III; Hargreaves will return on a one year deal after he was waived before the fifth-year option on his contract became guaranteed.
Texans have Gareon Conley, Lonnie Johnson, Keion Crossen, Cornell Armstrong, and Anthony Chesley already under contract for the upcoming season.
