Houston Texans Release Marcus Cannon

Last offseason the Houston Texans made a pick swap to take on Marcus Cannon’s contract to bring him to Houston. The hope was the Texans would move him to guard, where he could bring his run blocking style to the interior, and use his ability to anchor to finalize the move to the interior.

The Texans didn’t do this. Instead they moved Tytus Howard to guard, even after showing how well he pass protects at offensive tackle, and showing zero fortitude on the interior, so an aging former New England Patriot veteran could start at a more premium position.
