Houston Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph is due to become a free agent. The 12-year NFL veteran has spent the past seven seasons in Houston and has been a key member of the Texans defense. With how poorly the pass defense performed this season and how much it could cost to retain Joseph, the Texans could decide to go in a different direction.
During his time in Houston, Joseph has accumulated 14 interceptions and 96 pass defenses. Three of the interceptions were returned for touchdowns including one this season. Joseph appeared in all 16 games this season. A feat he has accomplished only twice before with the Texans.
