Here’s why Texans QB questions will be answered much sooner than you think
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?

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
