Here are some big names, exciting options for an aggressive Texans trade deadline
BUYERS NOT SELLERS!
24 October 2023
The Houston Texans will be back in action this week against the Carolina Panthers and if all goes well, the team will be sitting at 4-3 with the trade deadline looming on Tuesday, Oct. 31.
It's been a long time since the Texans could be considered buyers at the deadline, but they have a real shot at catching the Jaguars in the division if they can continue on this path.
CBS Sports recently published an article projecting trade scenarios for several teams, and they proposed the Texans trade a 3rd-round pick for Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton.
With Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Robert Woods already in the fold for this year and next, that doesn't make a ton of sense to us. But there are numerous others players on expiring deals that could be a good fit.
Especially when it comes to pass rushers, as the Texans are currently dead last in sacks this season.
So if the Texans could work out a long-term deal for one of these edge rushers, should they pull the trigger?
Commanders Chase Young & Montez Sweat, Panthers Brian Burns, and Vikings Danielle Hunter are all listed as players that could be on the move.
So who should the Texans target out of this exciting group of players?
Don't miss the video above as we examine all the possibilities for the Texans before the deadline.

Roman Anthony lined a fly ball over drawn-in center fielder Chas McCormick’s head to score the automatic runner from third, and the Boston Red Sox rallied in the 10th inning to beat the new-look Houston Astros 2-1 on Friday night.
Boston trailed 1-0 on Christian Walker’s second-inning home run before tying it in the seventh on Wilyer Abreu’s sacrifice fly.
With Abreu starting the bottom of the 10th on second base, Ceddanne Rafaela tried unsuccessfully to bunt him to third before swinging away -- and hitting the ball just a few feet in front of the plate. Catcher Yanier Diaz tried to get Abreu at third, but his throw was late.
Anthony lined a 2-2 pitch to center. McCormick ran after it and it flew just beyond his glove for what was scored as a walk-off single.
Greg Weissert (4-3) pitched a perfect 10th for the win as the Red Sox won for the fifth time in six games to reach a season-high nine games above .500.
Bennett Sousa (5-1) failed to get an out in picking up his first career loss.
Christian Walker homered, Hunter Brown took a shutout into the seventh inning and Jeremy Peña had three hits for Houston. Trade deadline acquisition Jesús Sánchez had two hits and Carlos Correa went hitless in his return to the team that picked him No. 1 overall in 2012 and re-acquired on Thursday the AL West-leading Astros loaded up in their quest for a ninth straight postseason appearance.
Key moment
In the top of the 10th, the Astros had a runner on third with one out when Mauricio Dubón hit a grounder to short and Trevor Story threw home to keep the go-ahead run from scoring.
Key stat
Bregman, who played his first nine years in Houston, singled in each of his first two career at-bats against the Astros.
Up next
Red Sox RHP Walker Buehler (6-6) will face Astros LHP Colton Gordon (4-3) on Saturday.
