Houston Texans free agent acquisition offensive tackle Matt Kalil had multiple offers on the table, but he chose Houston over other destinations due to an unusual reason, the team’s training staff. Kalil became a free agent after the Carolina Panthers waived him to open up cap room during free agency. Injuries have taken a toll in Kalil’s career after earning Pro Bowl recognition in his rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings.
His health was a red flag, and it ultimately ended his stint with the Panthers, but he is optimistic about turning his fortune around with the Texans.
