The Texans need to make a move at cornerback and there appear to be a handful who could be available on the free agent market.
Josh Norman was recently released by Washington, and there have been reports Darius Slay could be available for trade from the Detroit Lions.
Norman is the player who the Texans could pick up without giving up whatever they have left from last year's trades to shore up the offensive line.
"Bradley Roby and Jonathan Joseph, who comprised $15 million of the Texans’ free agent budget last season, are both free agents this offseason. Joseph, 36, may be on his last legs and wasn’t spectacular last season. Roby is a realistic candidate to re-sign in Houston, but he alone won’t be enough to solve the pass defense woes from last year.
"The Texans, given their $60+ million in cap space, only have one real high-priority free agent that they will be looking to retain in D.J. Reader. The secondary is an area where they should think about spending a considerable amount of money, and Norman may be one of the many acquisitions they make at the position in order to boost a pass defense that ranked 29th out of 32 in passing yards allowed last season."
Other teams listed are the Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers, where Norman began his career.
