Here’s why Houston Texans QB questions will be answered much sooner than you think
CAN'T WAIT!
10 March 2023
The Houston Texans made news this week when a report broke claiming there's a push in the Texans building to sign veteran QB Jimmy Garoppolo. According to the report, the Texans would also draft a QB in the first round to sit and develop behind Jimmy-G.
Another veteran QB that might become available is Lamar Jackson, who had the franchise tag placed on him this week. He has the ability to sign an offer sheet with another team, and if the Ravens don't match, a trade can take place.
With both of these situations available to the Texans, which player should the Texans be more excited to acquire?
Plus, we may get our answer on Garoppolo's future way before the draft, with the legal tampering free agency period beginning on Monday. Will Jimmy sign with a QB-needy team right away, or will he wait until after the draft to pick a team that missed out on drafting a QB?
