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.
Astros dealt another blow as Cubs complete crushing series sweep
Apr 25, 2024, 4:38 pm
Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a tiebreaking two-run homer for his first major league hit, and the Chicago Cubs swept the Houston Astros with a 3-1 victory on Thursday.
Nico Hoerner had three hits and Mike Tauchman went 1 for 1 with three walks as Chicago won for the fourth time in five games. Hayden Wesneski (2-0) pitched 2 1/3 perfect innings for the win in relief of Javier Assad.
Houston has lost a season-high five straight and eight of nine overall. At 7-19, it is off to its worst 26-game start since it was 6-20 in 1969.
First-year manager Joe Espada was ejected by plate umpire Jansen Visconti in the top of ninth.
Crow-Armstrong was recalled from Triple-A Iowa when Cody Bellinger was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with two fractured ribs. The 22-year-old outfielder, who is considered one of the team’s top prospects, made his big league debut last year and went 0 for 14 while appearing in 13 games.
He picked a perfect time for his first major league hit.
Houston had a 1-0 lead before Dansby Swanson scampered home on a fielder’s choice grounder for Miguel Amaya in the sixth.
Espada then replaced Rafael Montero with Bryan Abreu, who threw a wild pitch with Crow-Armstrong trying to sacrifice Amaya to second. Crow-Armstrong then drove his next pitch deep to right, delighting the crowd of 29,876 at Wrigley Field.
