TEXANS ROUNDTABLE
The Texans caught a big break when the news broke that Andrew Luck decided to retire.
This has some fans wondering, how poorly do the Texans have to perform this year for Bill O'Brien to be on the hot seat and eventually fired?
ESPN 97.5's John Granato, Lance Zierlein, and Raheel Ramzanali weigh in on how bad the Texans have to be for Bill O'Brien to be fired.
ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that the Texans have released running back Duke Johnson. The Texans will gain around $5 million in cap space by making this move. Houston ended up giving a 3rd round pick to the Browns for Johnson via a conditional trade. This was a deal that was questioned at the time and has proven to be another misstep by then GM, Bill O'Brien.
Many were surprised with the lack of playing time Johnson received, especially for the pick they gave up and the salary he was making. Johnson rushed for only 235 yards last season with 28 catches and 249 receiving yards. Johnson dealt with some injuries and only played in 11 games in 2020. Now the real question becomes, will they cut David Johnson next?
Texans just released RB Duke Johnson, per source.
