The Texans' primary negotiating priorities haven't changed.
They are making a strong push to try to hold onto Pro Bowl alternate safety Tyrann Matheiu.
The Texans have offered the former Arizona Cardinals All-Pro safety a multi-year contract extension that would make him one of the highest paid at his position, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly.
The Texans are expected to be willing to come close to the franchise tag number for safeties in the $9.5 to $11 million range.
