Houston

Texans

A former fifth-round pick in Dallas, Clark worked his way up to a full-time role in 2023, just his second season in the league. That didn’t last long and the Cowboys would go on to cut him in the middle of the 2025 season. Houston claimed him off waivers and he would go on to appear in six regular season games as a Texan, plus two postseason contests. Clark is primarily a special teamer at this point in his career, but his experience as a starting linebacker makes him a good depth option on defense as well.

Teller will likely be tasked with playing left guard in Houston. The 31-year-old simply didn’t seem to generate much interest in free agency other than the Texans. His market didn’t materialize. He’s a stopgap starter at this point, and it wouldn’t be surprising if the Texans drafted someone in the first few rounds to push him for snaps at guard.

Kirk spent last season in a backup role with the Texans, finishing the year with 28 receptions for 239 yards and one touchdown on 52 targets. The veteran receiver has seen 99 targets in 21 games over the last two seasons while playing over 75 percent of his snaps from the slot. In 2025, current free agent Jauan Jennings led the 49ers with 142 slot snaps, but he’s unlikely to return to the team. Depending on how the rest of the offseason goes, Kirk could earn a decent role in San Francisco, but it’s hard to imagine him having too much fantasy viability outside of deep leagues.

It’s a pay raise for Montgomery, who can make $16.5 million over two years. Per KPRC'2 Aaron Wilson, Montgomery’s upgraded contract also includes a $6.5 million signing bonus along with a fully guaranteed $1.5 million base salary for 2026, while his 2027 numbers will include a base salary of $7.5 million with $2 million of that guaranteed. Montgomery was previously owed non-guaranteed money for each of the next two seasons. The soon-to-be 29-year-old running back was acquired from the Lions in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick and figures to be the RB1 of the Texans’ backfield in 2026.

Browns was released by the Cardinals on Thursday and quickly finds a new home in Houston, where he could push for a starting role on the interior offensive line. The seven-year veteran bounced around the league his first two seasons before starting 68 games between 2021 and 2025. The low contract valuation appears to be a steal for the Texans.

Wilson is quick to note that nothing is “pending or imminent there.” A calf injury ended Teller’s 2025 season prematurely. The veteran offensive guard, now 31 years old, remains a moderately capable run blocker, having earned a 65.7 PFF run-blocking grade last season.

$6.3 million is guaranteed. The two sides were reportedly in discussions earlier in the day, with the Texans ultimately deciding Moreau was a good fit. He’ll join a roster with holdovers Dalton Schultz, Cade Stover, and Brevin Jordan, with Harrison Bryant also an unrestricted free agent. Moreau’s 2025 season ended on injured reserve due to an ankle injury after his 2024 season ended early due to a knee injury. Now entering his age-29 season, Moreau’s fantasy value is far from appealing in all formats.

It was with a failed physical designation. Edwards tore his pectoral muscle in December and isn’t fully recovered yet. It’s possible he’ll be an option elsewhere in 2026, but considering the Texans knew the medicals better than anyone, it could be a long recovery.

Moreau has shown some versatility in the past, catching up to 33/420/2 in his time with the Raiders, but was targeted just 10 times in 253 offensive snaps with the Saints after coming back from a late-season knee injury in 2024. He’ll turn 29 in May.

Townsend averaged 47.6 yards per punt for the Texans last season on 72 total punts. The 29-year-old made a Pro Bowl in 2022 with the Chiefs, also earning first-team All-Pro honors. The Titans now add him as their new punter under a new coaching staff for 2026.
