The Houston Texans have made bold moves this offseason that have caught the attention of the NFL.
Fresh off an impressive rebound from a 3-13-1 season in 2023 to clinching the AFC South title with a 10-7 record, the Texans have been active in bolstering their roster. Headlined by the recent acquisition of wide receiver Stefon Diggs, the team has been making significant additions.
Under the guidance of new head coach DeMeco Ryans, the Texans showcased their potential in the previous season. Their success was fueled in part by their 2023 draft class, notably C.J. Stroud, who quickly established himself as a standout young quarterback, earning the Offensive Rookie of the Year title, and Will Anderson Jr., who received recognition on the defensive side.
Despite not having a first-round draft pick this year due to previous deals, the Texans have demonstrated their belief in their Super Bowl aspirations by aggressively pursuing talent this offseason. They kicked off with the signing of pass rusher Danielle Hunter in free agency, followed by trades for running back Joe Mixon and wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
In assembling this high-profile trio, the Texans have achieved a remarkable feat never before seen in NFL history. According to reports from the NFL Network, no team has ever acquired players who individually achieved ten-plus sacks, 1,000-plus rushing yards, and 100-plus receptions, all in the same offseason.
With Stroud entering the second year of his rookie contract, the Texans are clearly capitalizing on their competitive advantage. By surrounding their young quarterback with both talent and experience, they aim to maximize their potential and make a strong push towards Super Bowl contention.
