Remaining free agent targets that could be difference-makers for Houston Texans
TOP TARGETS
05 May 2023
While most of the Texans' work has been done already in free agency, there are some intriguing names that are still available.
Leonard Floyd, Jadeveon Clowney, and Frank Clark are just a few players mentioned that the Texans could add to the team.
Of course, Clowney gets the most attention in the group among Texans fans because of his ties to Houston. But he also has the ability to stop the run, which has been a weakness for this team over the last several years.
Be sure to check out the video above as the guys discuss which options would improve the team and excite Texans fans the most.

Peyton Manning drops truth bombs on CJ Stroud and Texans doubters
Jun 26, 2025, 3:23 pm
Peyton Manning had some very interesting comments recently about CJ Stroud's perceived sophomore slump last season. Much of the skepticism, Manning believes, comes from surface-level narratives. The Texans went 10-7 in the regular season last year, a step back from the lofty expectations set after C.J. Stroud’s electric rookie year and Houston’s dramatic playoff push.
And while the offense didn’t maintain its early-season explosion under Bobby Slowik, people seem to be overlooking how that same Texans team ended the year: as one of the last four teams standing in the AFC — alongside the Chiefs, Bills, and Ravens.
Stroud has now won a playoff game in his first two seasons, while Manning didn't win his first playoff game until year six of his career.
With a new OC in house, and DeMeco Ryans leading the way, Manning likes what he's seeing from Stroud and the Texans moving forward.
It’s pretty cool watching Stroud take in praise from one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Manning gets it, and before long, the rest of the league and media will too.
Check out the video below to see the full conversation!

“He went to the playoffs in his 2nd year. He was 22. Let’s be careful saying it was a down year. I didn’t win a playoff game ‘til my SIXTH year. He’s 2 for 2.” pic.twitter.com/dtd9dU5Nj1
