The Houston Texans have reached an agreement to add defensive tackle Tim Jernigan to their front seven, according to Mark Berman of Fox 26. Jernigan’s signing is a welcomed addition for the Texans after D.J. Reader agreed to a four-year deal worth up to $53 million with the Cincinnati Bengals.
At 27 years of age, Jernigan still has plenty of football ahead of him if he can stay healthy with the Houston Texans. According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, Jernigan agreed to a one-year prove-it deal that is worth up to $3.
