Houston general manager Nick Caserio eyes a rebuilt offensive line for C.J. Stroud and a dominant secondary in 2025.

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to trade defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson and a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Houston Texans for guard Kenyon Green and a 2026 fifth-rounder, according to a league source.

So the Texans decided to trade him while he still had some value. The return may have been more than they expected. Houston shipped Green and a 2026 fifth round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and a 2026 sixth rounder.

The Houston Texans and free agent edge rusher Darrell Taylor agreed on a one-year deal on Monday. Taylor adds depth to a stronghold for Houston. Texans edge rushers Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter were the only duo with 12+ sacks and 60+ pressures across the NFL regular and postseason last year according to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats.

According to a report from NFL Media, Darrell Taylor is signing with the Texans on a one-year, $5.25 million deal. Taylor, 27, spent last season with the Bears. He recorded 3.0 sacks with three tackles for loss and nine QB hits.
