Texans fans clamoring to sign Earl Thomas should consider this

The Baltimore Ravens have parted ways with safety Earl Thomas. Make sure to watch the video as we examine whether Thomas should be a target for Bill O'Brien and the Texans. We know Deshaun Watson wanted Thomas to join the Texans before he signed with the Ravens, so maybe this time around Thomas comes to Houston.

To say the Houston Texans have been busy this week would be a colossal understatement. The team agreed to a massive contract extension with All-Pro corner Derek Stingley Jr, restructured lineman Tytus Howard's contract, and signed free agent left tackle Cam Robinson to a one-year deal.

Texans GM Nick Caserio is definitely earning his paycheck this week, as there is now another extension to discuss. According to multiple reports, pass rusher Danielle Hunter has agreed to a one-year, $35.6 million extension.

Tom Pelissero is reporting in the post above that “Hunter will make $32M this season — a $12.5M raise — and $55.1M ($54.1M fully guaranteed) over the next two seasons.”

Good work if you can get it.

The Texans are making a strong push to equip QB C.J. Stroud with top talent over the next two years. This is the ideal window to invest before they face a hefty commitment to his second contract.

With fewer pressing needs, Houston can now approach the draft with flexibility, prioritizing the best players available.
