OffseasonWhich Player Is Most Likely To Be Released Or Traded
CDTShareTweetShareShareWhich Player Is Most Likely To Be Released Or Traded set.
There are still free agents available and stones to flip over. The recent draft
class has watered down position groups across the league and have made veterans
on the roster bubble expendable to make room for the new young talent. Bill
Barnwell of ESPN predicted which players he believes are most likely to be
traded or released now that the draft is over. Here’s what he had to say about
the Houston Texans:Yeah
Zach Cunningham Jersey , I’m not buying it. Houston is going to have a bloodbath competition for offensive line spots, trimming the extra weight as training camp
and preseason progresses. Despite adding two new offensive tackles via this
draft class, the Texans are far from settled at the tackle position. I’m
assuming Henderson will be here throughout the summer. My guess would be one of
the veteran tight ends will be gone. Houston has the Jordan rookies, both of
whom had interesting 2018 seasons. Kahale Warring may walk onto the field and be
the best tight end as a rookie. You can’t carry four tight ends. Three is the
typical number.That could easily mean Ryan Griffin is the odd man out. The
important thing is the offseason isn’t over. The Texans will continue to look to
improve their team until they open their regular season against the Saints on
Monday Night Football. HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans chose offensive tackle
Tytus Howard of Alabama State with the 23rd overall pick in the NFL draft
Thursday night, hoping he can help protect banged-up quarterback Deshaun
Watson.Watson was sacked an NFL-leading 62 times as Houston won the AFC South
but lost to the Colts in the wild-card round. Watson played every game in his
second year after having season-ending knee surgery as a rookie, but was hurt
for a chunk of the season while dealing with a partially collapsed lung and
broken ribs from taking hit after hit.General manager Brian Gaine said they
became more impressed with Howard as the scouting process progressed.“I felt
like with each interval he was able to pass each segment with flying
colors
Lonnie Johnson Houston Texans Jersey ,” Gaine said. “He made a very favorable impression as far the intangible profile, the person, the character that matched
with the physical ability and the physical traits. We felt like he checked all
the boxes.”It was the just the second time Houston had selected an offensive
lineman in the first round. The last was left tackle Duane Brown with the 26th
pick in 2008.Howard was a quarterback in high school before growing into his
6-foot-5, 322-pound frame.He said working with the strength staff at Alabama
State helped him transform his body, and he got a little help in that area from
his fiancée’s cooking.“My favorite would be her chicken spaghetti,” he said. “I
used to eat that back to back nights. I’d eat the whole pan.”He has the
versatility the Texans were looking for after starting at both right and left
tackle in college and Gaine said he could also play both guard positions.He was
named to the SWAC All-Conference team last season after starting 10 games at
right tackle.“The way we look at Tytus is we see him as an offensive lineman …
so he’s going to have a chance to compete for a starting role
Lonnie Johnson Jersey 2019 , I just don’t know what position it’s going to be,” Gaine said.The Texans had three picks in the first two rounds. They come a year
after they didn’t have any picks in the first or second rounds because they
shipped their top two picks to get rid of Brock Osweiler and trade up to get
Watson in 2017.Howard can’t wait to begin working with Watson, who was the 12th
pick in the 2017 draft.“I feel like with my athleticism I’ll be able to protect
him longer since he’s more mobile and moves around a lot more,” Howard said. “I
feel like me and him are going to build a great relationship while I’m there and
help win some games for the Houston Texans.”Howard’s experience at quarterback
in high school gives him a unique perspective when it comes to protecting
quarterbacks in his current position.“I know how being sacked feels, so I try my
best not to give up any sacks and I try to play long as I can to keep the guy
from hitting the quarterback,” he said.The Texans believe Howard has a high
upside since he’s only been an offensive lineman for a few years and are looking
forward to seeing him develop in their system.“He has the height

element, our player wellness, our training room, our nutrition program, he’s
going to have all these great benefits to really maximize his potential.
