Texans fans have reason to rejoice as offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik and quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson have decided to stay with the team, ensuring continuity and building on the success of the past season. This bodes well for quarterback C.J. Stroud as he enters his second year in the league, benefiting from a stable coaching staff.
The excitement doesn’t end there, as speculation rises about the possibility of the Texans acquiring a future Hall of Fame receiver in the upcoming NFL free agency. Mike Evans, currently with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is the subject of these rumors. While the Buccaneers would undoubtedly want to retain the star receiver, the article suggests that Texas is home for Evans, and the influence of former teammate Tom Brady could play a role in bringing him to Houston.
Evans has strong ties to Texas, having played college football at Texas A&M and high school football at Ball High School in Galveston. The Texans, armed with a substantial $66 million in salary cap space and the 23rd pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, are positioned to make significant moves to enhance their roster. The return of Stroud’s favorite target, Evans, would undoubtedly elevate the Texans’ offense.
The team’s recent trade with the Arizona Cardinals for the 27th overall pick resulted in the acquisition of defensive end Will Anderson Jr., providing valuable leadership on the defensive end. While the youth movement within the team is evident, the addition of a seasoned veteran like Evans could add a new dimension to their game.
Spotrac.com projects Evans to command an annual salary of $23.8 million in a potential four-year deal during the upcoming offseason. If the Buccaneers allow Evans to explore other options, the Texans, with their cap space and draft position, seem poised to make a compelling offer for the receiver with an impressive track record of 10 consecutive seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards.
