HOUSTON -- Through the first four days of free agency, the Houston Texans have been relatively quiet, which has led to a few holes opening up on defense.
Yes, Houston made a big move to trade quarterback Brock Osweiler to Cleveland, but they have only signed three players -- all re-signings: kicker Nick Novak, punter Shane Lechler and tight end Ryan Griffin.
So far, the Texans have lost three starters on last season’s No. 1 defense: cornerback A.J. Bouye, safety Quintin Demps and outside linebacker John Simon.
