The Houston Texans addressed their need at running back through trade with NFL free agency set to start. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Houston is acquiring David Johnson from the Arizona Cardinals.
Texans could use Johnson in their backfield with Carlos Hyde, and Lamar Miller expected to test the waters in free agency. Johnson is a definite upgrade from a talent standpoint than the other running backs that Bill O’Brien coached the last couple of seasons, but Texans will have to be comfortable with his expensive contract for the next two seasons.
