Houston Texans linebacker Neville Hewitt is off the open market after inking a one-year deal to stay with the team. Neville’s agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed the news, and Adam Schefter tweeted it.
Neville is a seven-year veteran in the league, spending three years with the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets before joining the Texans last season. The undrafted linebacker appeared in all 17 games for the Texans, starting five of those, totaling 60 tackles, one tackle for a loss, and one quarterback hit.
The Texans’ defense had many holes, allowing the second-most yards and sixth-most points in the NFL.
