When the Texans were cleaning out their lockers following a playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts, veteran cornerback Johnathan Joseph made it clear he intends to return next season and has no plans to retire.
Joseph turns 35 before next season, which would mark his 14th in the NFL. He's due an affordable $2.9 million base salary in the second year of a two-year, $10 million contract.
Joseph had his moments for the AFC South champions, including a key interception return for a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills, and provides strong leadership in the locker room and on the field.
