NFL free agency: Will Texans pursue star RB Saquon Barkley?

C.J. Stroud led the Houston Texans to the playoffs in 2023 alongside a cast of previously unheralded weapons.

Could one of the NFL's marquee offensive players join Stroud in 2024? Don't discount the possibility.

Former NFL linebacker and current ESPN analyst Bart Scott said Wednesday he views the Texans as a perfect fit for free-agent running back Saquon Barkley, who is far from guaranteed to return to the New York Giants for a seventh NFL season. Barkley played under the franchise tag in 2023, and per multiple reports, New York is unlikely to use the franchise tag on Barkley again in 2024.
