Despite not making splashy moves to the start of free agency, the Houston Texans front office have had an eventful start and executed most of their objectives through the early stage of NFL free agency. General manager Brian Gaine has brought the majority of the Texans depth pieces back in play for the 2019 season.
Gaine re-signed DeAndre Carter, Brennan Scarlett, Brandon Dunn, Joel Heath, Angelo Blackson, and Ka’imi Fairbairn on the first day of free agency. Dunn, Heath, and Blackson were all underrated rotational defensive lineman in the front seven and were important players to retain after showing they were good fits within defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel’s scheme.
