Texans | Nico Collins wants to play his entire career in Houston Tue May 12, 10:01 AM

When trade rumors swirled about Texans wide receiver Nico Collins ahead of the draft, general manager Nick Caserio didn't hesitate to make it clear that the team has no interest in parting ways with the wideout. Caserio said anyone thinking that a trade could happen "can shove it" because the Texans won't be making a deal. That sounds like it was music to Collins' ears because he said this weekend that he does not have any interest in wearing a different uniform. "I love the Texans," Collins said. "I got drafted here . . . It's definitely a place I would like to retire."

Footballguys view: As PFT's Josh Alper notes, while Collins wants to stick around the Texans, the business side of things will always play a role in how a career plays out, and Collins has slipped down the list of best-paid wideouts since signing an extension in 2024. That deal could be revisited, but a failure to find common ground could lead to different thoughts about a shared future in Houston. For now, Collins, who finished as WR8 despite missing two games last season, heads into 2026 as WR9 on the Footballguys 2026 Draft Projections.

Texans | Tank Dell continues to make progress Sun May 10, 03:19 PM

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) has been doing well in the team's offseason conditioning program, as he makes his way back from a dislocated left knee, torn anterior cruciate ligament, as well as torn medial collateral and lateral collateral ligaments. He has made a lot of progress, and he is running again and cutting in his routes, although he is not back to 100 percent.

Footballguys view: CJ Stroud's best performances came with Dell on the field, so his return can only be a good thing for the Texans quarterback. It might not be a good thing for the fantasy value of Nico Collins, as Stroud targeted Dell (when the receiver was a rookie) just about as often as he did Collins.

He is due $20 million fully guaranteed in 2026, and $21.25 million non-guaranteed in 2027. He is the 18th-highest paid wide receiver in terms of average compensation in 2026.

Texans | C.J. Stroud has Houston CEO's backing Tue May 5, 12:58 AM

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud has CEO Cal McNair's backing, saying the Texans are 'fully committed' to Stroud on Monday, May 4.

Footballguys view: This figures to be a big season for Stroud. Last month, the Texans picked up the fifth-year option on his contract. Now, the Texans have another year to negotiate with Stroud's camp and make sure he is their long-term solution at quarterback. During the past two seasons, he failed to throw more than 20 passing touchdowns (with one rushing TD) en route to QB17 and QB21 finishes. A stingy Houston defense means the Texans don't have to throw much, and it's hard to envision a huge shift this year. Stroud's Footballguys projection, QB20, reflects all that.

Texans | Extension for Azeez Al-Shaair Wed Apr 29, 01:18 PM

Houston Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with the Texans Wednesday, April 29. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Al-Shaair had his first Pro Bowl season in 2025 after totaling 103 tackles, two interceptions, and nine pass deflections. He wore the "green dot" on defense as he relayed the playcalls from Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke for the No. 1-ranked total defense (277.2 yards per game) and No. 2 scoring defense (17.4 points per game) last season. There were also times when Al-Shaair called the plays himself when the opposing offense was in hurry-up mode, so he's an important contributor.
