The Houston Texans have made several significant roster changes during training camp, including signing former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney and Mario Edwards to bolster their defensive line. However, they have not made comparable moves to enhance their wide receiver corps, relying instead on their existing younger talent.
As the start of the regular season approaches, the Texans' opportunities to add a notable wide receiver appear to be dwindling. Recently, several top free agents, including Deebo Samuel, Stefon Diggs, and Keenan Allen, have signed with other teams, leaving Houston with fewer viable options.
While Tyreek Hill remains available, concerns over his recovery from a torn ACL injury make his signing unlikely. Other potential targets such as Curtis Samuel, Brandin Cooks, Tyler Lockett, and DeAndre Hopkins may not significantly improve the Texans' current lineup, which includes promising players like Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins.
The Texans seem to be comfortable with their current wide receiver depth, which includes Collins as the likely WR1, along with other emerging talents. The front office appears confident that the existing roster can perform effectively without additional major signings, allowing them to allocate their available cap space of over $20 million to other needs.
