The NFL Draft wrapped up in April, but that doesn't mean the Texans can't add another difference maker to the offensive line.
Redskins left tackle Trent Williams is reportedly refusing to play for Washington and is requesting to be released or traded before the start of the 2019 season. Williams lives in Houston currently and would be a great fit for the Texans and their underwhelming offensive line.
Joel Blank shares his thoughts on if the Texans should call the Redskins to see if there is deal to be made, or if Houston should hold tight and let their rookie tackles develop.
Stephen A. Smith presses Stroud on Texans' o-line concerns, Mixon loss
Aug 26, 2025, 1:25 pm
Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud joins First Take on Tuesday and shares his outlook for the season with Molly Qerim and Stephen A. Smith.
One of the biggest factors that could swing the Texans season has to be the rebuilt offensive line. Stroud was the second-most sacked quarterback last season, and Houston knew that had to change.
Smith asked Stroud about the revamped unit, and CJ had really good things to say about the tackle play with rookie Aireontae Ersery and Tytus Howard.
Stroud also credits the new scheme, believing the changes they're making will prevent some of the issues from last year from happening again. Specially, they're looking to get the ball out quicker and move the pocket to give the linemen more help.
Finally, Stroud discussed the new-look receiving corps, and how the Texans will replace Joe Mixon early in the season.
