A few jobs openings still remain on the 2025 Texans roster
Despite what many in the national media have phoned in reported recently, Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio is doing good work rebuilding this team.
So far, Caserio has re-signed:
Mario Edwards Jr. – DT
M.J. Stewart – S
Derek Barnett – DE
Dare Ogunbowale – RB
Kurt Hinish – DT
and signed:
Laken Tomlinson – OG
Termon Smith – CB
Nick Niemann – LB
Darrell Taylor – DE
Braxton Berrios – WR
Sheldon Rankins – DT
Justin Watson – WR
Jakob Johnson – RB
Del’Shawn Phillips – LB
Caserio also made a few trades you may have heard about…
Ed Ingram – G
Christian Kirk – WR
C.J. Gardner-Johnson – S
That’s 17 new faces (apologies for any I missed) to help get the Texans over the Divisional Round hurdle they’ve yet to clear.
And, per OTC, the Texans still have around $15 mil in cap space to use. Although, that’s not quite set yet.
For historical reference. In April 2024, after free agency, the Houston Texans had approximately $23.7 million in cap space, and $18.4 million heading into Training Camp.
2025 probably comes in a little lower. https://t.co/GWn8HY4As8

The quarterback, running back, defensive end, cornerback and safety positions seem to be locked down. Questions remain with the tight ends, offensive line and wide receivers. Perhaps the interior defensive line and linebacker corps could use a shot in the arm as well.
Which brings us to the question of the day:
What position do the Houston Texans need to address next?
It might be easy to say offensive line after sending away Laremy Tunsil. Or maybe you’re in the “Bring Back Stefon Diggs” camp and don’t care about an old player recovering from a catastrophic injury who wants top dollar. Have a ‘best pick available’ player in mind in the draft? Another trade idea? Pick your answer to the poll then put your virtual GM cap on and tell us all how you would finish up this roster rebuild.
