According to multiple reports, the Houston Texans are signing former Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz to a 1-year deal worth up to $9 million.
A big move for Houston to keep building around whatever young QB they may take at No. 2. https://t.co/ObHeCp3EIQ

In 15 games last season, Schulz caught 57 passes and recorded 577 receiving yards with 5 TDs. Over the past 3 years, his numbers are right up there with the top tight ends in the game.
Dalton Schultz becomes the second Cowboys FA to join the Texans. WR Noah Brown also signed there. Schultz had a productive run with the Cowboys. Last 3 years, Schultz, Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews and T.J. Hockenson are only TEs to have 50+ catches for 500+ or more yards.

The Texans also added some depth at running back by signing former Bills RB Devin Singletary to a 1-year deal worth up to $3.75 million.

He should be a good fit sharing carries with Dameon Pierce. Singletary rushed for 819 yards last season, with 5 rushing TDs. His ability to catch the football had to be one of the elements of his game that got GM Nick Caserio's attention.
Singletary caught 38 passes for 280 yards last year. With Rex Burkhead no longer under contract, Singletary will be a nice upgrade catching passes out of the backfield for Houston.
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!
Peyton Manning on CJ Stroud at @FanaticsFest:
“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
