Earlier this week, Texans Head Coach Lovie Smith gave a strong signal during Houston’s offseason program kickoff press conference regarding the team’s cornerback room.
“Our play at the cornerback position last year was not good enough. It’s as simple as that,” Smith said. “We can’t play the type of football that we want to play until we get better at the cornerback position, I will say that.”
Today, Smith (and the front office) moved closer to being able to play their preferred style of football by signing veteran CB Steven Nelson to a 2-year, $10 million contract, according to ESPN.
