The Houston Texans are reportedly parting ways with a key member of last year's playoff run as they reshape their roster for the 2024 season.
Houston is trading veteran defensive tackle Maliek Collins to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. The departure of Collins—who recorded 41 tackles and five sacks last season—deepens a void at defensive tackle, as fellow 2023 starter Sheldon Rankins is currently a free agent.
What does Collins' exit mean for the Texans moving forward, both in free agency and next month's NFL draft?
