NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Texans have traded defensive lineman Charles Omenihu to the 49ers for a late-round pick. No surprise here. All the Texans seem to do is trade their players for late-round picks these days. Despite being one of the team's best defensive players, Omenihu has been a healthy scratch for multiple games this season. After rumors of static between Omenihu and the Texans, possibly due to Charles having the same agent as disgruntled Texans QB Deshaun Watson, Omenihu will be moving on to the 49ers. Omenihu recorded seven total sacks during his three years with the Texans.
Sources: The #Texans are trading young pass-rusher Charles Omenihu to the #49ers in exchange for a future late-rounder. The former fifth rounder, who has been an intriguing trade name for weeks, has a new landing spot.
