The Houston Texans released running back D’Onta Foreman early Sunday morning, and the move seemed sudden and abrupt. At the time, the Texans hadn’t signed another running back, which validated the suddenness of the trade.
It simply appeared the Texans didn’t have a plan in place to replace Foreman, but a seasoned general manager would know to not just release Foreman without having his replacement already on the roster. That’s kind of to be expected, considering the fact that there isn’t an active general manager in place for the Texans.
However, the Texans found their replacement in Duke Johnson, who they landed in a trade with the Cleveland Browns.
