According to Jason La Canfora, the Texans are discussing trades to deal away players with a number of organizations ahead of next week’s NFL trade deadline.
Texans owner Cal McNair has been advised to try and boost the team’s future draft capital and financial situation as much as possible after the disastrous management by previous HC/GM Bill O’Brien, as it will help the team be more compelling for top general manager candidates.
La Canfora says the Texans are expected to trade at least one wide receiver before the deadline, as it’s their deepest position. Will Fuller and Brandin Cooks are the two who have drawn the most interest so far. Houston also has veteran WRs Randall Cobb and Kenny Stills potentially available.
He adds Houston is also gauging the market for veteran OLB Whitney Mercilus. The Texans have also received some feelers for RB Duke Johnson and TE Darren Fells.
It looks like Houston has been active and could be a source of a trade or two in the next several days.
Fuller, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Texans back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $10.164 million contract and stood to make a base salary of $1.83 million for the 2019 season when the Texans exercised his fifth-year option last offseason.
The option is worth $10.1 million for the 2020 season. Fuller will be an unrestricted free agent in 2021.
In 2020, Fuller has appeared in six games for the Texans and caught 28 passes for 455 yards and four touchdowns.
We’ll have more on the Texans as the news is available.

Better not give My Re avens no good offensive lineman or a veteran wide receiver or you will finally show you all who we really are.
Why? JJ Watt is overrated you don’t spend money on a defense player especially defense lineman . Money contract negotiation should have been use on offense linemen runningbacks and receivers in last 10 seasons .Watt was bum still is a bum bad investment . Watt can’t catch the ball can’t throw the ball definitely can’t carry the ball why invest in a player
Let JJ go to a winner before its to late for his career. Hate to see him go but he should be allowed to be on a team that has a chance to win a championship.
This is what we get when the team owner don’t know when to fire a head coach. Heck that’s coach ruined the franchise for years to come. He received a promotion for blowing games last 2 seasons He stripped the team of high draft picks and let his feeling make personnel decisions. Maybe Joe Biden can come and coach. Would be an upgrade.
JJ to Pittsburgh with his brothers. Make it happen!!
I would like to see that.
Hope the eagles get Bradley Roby and Benarkick Mckinney.
You can have roby… bust in denver!!
