Texans

  • Texans’ S Justin Reid on the trade of CB Bradley Roby: โ€œHonestly, it caught me off guard, but thatโ€™s kind of not my job to even think about. My job is to think about what weโ€™re gonna do this week. He wasnโ€™t really playing in this game to begin with. So it doesnโ€™t change our scheme per se.โ€ (Mark Berman)
  • Texans’ CB Vernon Hargreaves on Roby being traded to the Saints: “I was surprised a little bit. I’ve been around long enough to know things like that happen. I’ve been in the league long enough to know that.” (Aaron Wilson)
  • Hargreaves said he has improved his game from a mental standpoint and his ability to move on from mistakes: “You’ve got to be mentally tough, or they can run you out of here.” (Wilson)
  • Texans’ WR Danny Amendola on being back in his home state of Texas: “I’m blessed. Spent a lot of time here playing ball in Texas growing up. Texas football is definitely in my blood.” (Aaron Wilson)
  • Amendola’s $2.5 million contract includes a $250,000 signing bonus, $1.25 million salary, up to $300,000 in per-game active roster bonuses, a rate of $17,647 per game and $700,000 in incentive clauses. (Wilson)
  • Texans’ TE Pharaoh Brown mentioned what his role is on the team, as the team will start two tight ends with Brown and TE Jordan Akins: “I’ve been named a starter and I’ll be playing a lot more. I love it.” (Wilson)
