2021 Eagles starting cornerback and current free agent Steven Nelson visited the Houston Texans on Monday, according to the league’s official transaction wire.
Nelson’s market has been fairly quiet since NFL free agency began last month. Nelson also failed to generate serious interest after he was let go by the Pittsburgh Steelers last year. It wasn’t until right before training camp that the veteran signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Eagles.
Anecdotally, Nelson was a solid CB2 while starting across from Darius Slay. Some wondered if the team should sign him to a multi-year deal.
