The flurry of moves for the Houston Texans continues as they have now addressed the offensive line in free agency after trading Laremy Tunsil, Kenyon Green, and cutting Shaq Mason.

According to KPRC2's Aaron Wilson and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Texans are signing former Seahawks guard Laken Tomlinson (age 33) to a 1-year, $4.25 million deal.

Tomlinson has been durable, starting 16 games or more in 7 straight seasons. He was a Pro Bowler for the 49ers in 2021.

Wilson and Garafolo are also reporting that the Texans are re-signing defensive tackle Mario Edwards to a two-year, $9.5 million contract.

Edwards started 12 games for the Texans in 2024, recording 3 sacks and 8 QB hits. He was suspended 4 games last season for violating the NFL substance abuse policy.
