Delp has been very busy lately. He also took top-30 visits with the Buccaneers, Chargers, Vikings, Patriots, and Ravens. Delp was a three-year starter at Georgia, playing sidekick to current Raiders TE Brock Bowers in 2022 and 2023. Unfortunately, Delp never became a featured receiving option after Bowers was drafted. Delp possesses good size and athleticism. He has the potential to develop at the pro level.

Per NBC Sports Houston’s Aaron Wilson, Klare has met “extensively” with the Texans, Buccaneers, Rams, Broncos and Panthers. Klare could be the second tight drafted next week, profiling as a potential every-down player. Although he performed better as a receiver at Purdue in 2024, he earned a respectable 71.6 PFF run-blocking grade at Ohio State last year. Klare could be a year one contributor, but he is not guaranteed to reach the TE1 ranks in fantasy.

Anderson’s deal will make him the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history. The star pass rusher will receiver $134 million in guaranteed money on his new deal and is now under contract with the Texans through the 2023 season. Anderson entered the league in 2023 after molding himself into the nation’s top pass rusher at Alabama. He has shown steady growth during each of his three seasons and has posted double-digit sack totals in each of his last two seasons, earning First-team All-Pro honors in 2025 while finishing second in Defensive Player of the Year voting. With Anderson now extended, the Texans can now shift their focus to C.J. Stroud, whose fifth-year option they recently picked up to keep him under contract through 2027. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Anderson’s deal will also include a no-trade clause.

The Texans and Anderson have been mutually interested in an extension for most of the offseason, though it hasn’t happened yet. The sticker shock is surely there reading "$50 million a year,” but it’s essentially no different than the $46 million that Micah Parsons got per season as part of his trade to the Packers given inflation. It shouldn’t surprise anyone when the deal comes in this high, but the rest of Houston’s offseason maneuverings (how much cap space do they still need available for 2026, etc) could be holding the extension up given just how large the contract will be.

Dell continues to rehab from a gruesome knee injury he suffered in Week 16 of the 2024 season. That injury caused him to miss all of 2025, and while there’s hope he will be ready for Week 1 this season, the Texans continue to take it “day to day,” per Caserio. Caserio added that Dell has been in the building more now that he’s able to do more on his knee, which is an optimistic sign, but he also noted that the team will be open to taking a receiver in this year’s draft if there’s a player they like available to them. Dell has a career receiving line of 98-1,376-10 in 25 games and has also served as their punt returner.

Anderson has been a star pass rusher since being drafted No. 3 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. He totaled 23 sacks over the past two seasons and was a First-Team All-Pro in 2025. With the fifth-year option, Anderson is now set to make $21.512 million in 2027. The Texans will certainly want to extend the 24-year-old as a cornerstone of the defense, but they get him under contract for an additional year for now. Anderson will be headed to reset the pass-rushing market with a prospective extension.

Stroud, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, had his fifth-year option picked up by the Texans. He will get $25.904 million in 2027 and is now extension-eligible. The 24-year-old got off to a fast start as a rookie, but stumbled the past two seasons. Last seen on a football field throwing four interceptions in the Divisional Round, Stroud still needs to sustain success beyond putting up fine numbers in the regular season. The Texans don’t have to commit to him long-term just yet, but they make the decision to give Stroud close to $26 million to start in 2027.

Mapu will take over a backup LB roster spot and play on special teams for the Texans. He was set to be released prior to this trade, per several media reports. Mapu enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2026.

Emerson missed all of 2025 due to a torn Achilles, but the 25-year-old corner was a key contributor for the Browns before going down. From 2023 to 2024, Emerson started 27 of 33 games for the Browns, breaking up 19 passes while picking off four, and also tallying 139 tackles over that span. Emerson is a former third-round pick who has played primarily on the outside for his career.

Bryant started three of the 11 games he appeared in last season for the Texans, totaling 40 tackles and one TFL. The sixth-year corner appeared on 343 defensive snaps for the Texans last season and can also serve as a contributor on special teams. Bryant has started 20 games in his career and spent most of his time lined up at free safety or in the slot, per PFF.
