The Houston Texans are getting a starting cornerback before the NFL draft.
They're signing Steven Nelson to a two-year, $10 million deal, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
After signing a $3 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, Nelson started opposite Darius Slay and appeared in 16 regular-season games. He finished the season with an interception, seven passes defensed and 50 tackles.
Playing predominantly in a zone system that was giving to opponents underneath, quarterbacks completed 67% of their passes -- for a QB rating of 108.4 -- when throwing in his direction in 2021, according to Pro Football Reference.
