The Houston Texans are making a play on the free agent quarterback market, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
When the negotiating window for free agency opens in under an hour, the Texans and Raiders are expected to pursue former 49ers’ QB Jimmy Garoppolo, per league sources. Jets also could get in, but they’re in wait-and-see mode right now.
Garoppolo has worked with Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels during their time together with the New England Patriots.
Meanwhile, Texans general manager Nick Caserio was part of the front office that drafted Garoppolo in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
