Houston Texans must prioritize trading for O.J. Howard now

Following the Houston Texans shock DeAndre Hopkins deal with Arizona, Tom Brady’s move to Tampa Bay is the most significant move in the NFL off-season. And things just got a lot more interesting when Tampa shipped a 2020 fourth-round pick to New England in return for Rob Gronkowski and a seventh-round pick in this year’s draft.

Overnight, O.J. Howard has become one of the top trade targets in the league as Thursday’s NFL Draft nears.

Howard, 25, is entering the final year on a four-year, $11 million contract worth just under $2 million in 2020 with an overall cap hit of $3.
