The majority of the Houston Texans free agent signings have one thing in common, the greater part of players signed by Texans general manager Brian Gaine will not count towards the team’s chance of earning a compensatory draft pick from the NFL in 2020.
Texans were expected to move on from their 2010 first round draft pick, versatile defensive back Kareem Jackson in free agency. Jackson agreed to terms with the Denver Broncos in the first day of the moratorium period to a three-year deal worth up to $33 million. The Texans also lost defensive back Tyrann Mathieu in a battle with the Kansas City Chiefs to a three-year contract worth up to $42 million.
