Former Cincinnati Bengals keep signing with or re-upping with the Houston Texans this offseason.
The latest -- just before the NFL draft -- is tight end Irv Smith Jr., who re-signed with the Texans on a one-year contract this week.
Smith was a brief fan favorite with the Bengals in 2023 as a possible long-term solution at a troubled spot for Joe Burrow's offense. But the former second-round pick caught just 18 passes with one touchdown for the team before moving on the next offseason.
