Adam Schefter reports that the Texans are signing veteran LB Neville Hewitt to a one-year contract on Friday.
Hewitt recently visited with the Texans and it appears as though everything checked out from their end.
Hewitt, 27, signed on with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent out of Marshall back in 2015. He was in the final year of a three-year, $1.576 million contract and set to earn a base salary of $615,000 for the 2017 season when he was waived by Miami coming out of the preseason.
The Jets signed Hewitt to a one-year contract in 2018 and he’s spent the past three years in New York.
In 2020, Hewitt appeared in all 16 games for the Jets and recorded 133 tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble, a recovery and four passes defended.
