The Houston Texans enter 2021 NFL free agency coming off a 4-12 season in 2020 and have 14 unrestricted free agents.
While the Texans will have to decide whether wide receiver Will Fuller V is in their future plans, their main focus in free agency should be on improving their defense, which was ranked 30th in Football Outsiders’ defensive DVOA in 2020. After granting J.J. Watt’s request to be released, Houston has few impact players on defense and needs to find several players who can consistently get to the quarterback, whether that’s via free agency or the draft.
