Offensive tackle Trent Brown agreed to a one-year contract with the Houston Texans worth up to $7 million. The deal was announced on Thursday by Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, following Houston‘s recent trades involving starting right tackle Tytus Howard and guard Juice Scruggs.
Brown’s Journey Back to Houston and Career Highlights
Brown, who will turn 33 next month, originally joined the Texans as a free agent last March. After being released in August, he was re-signed to the roster in October and started in all seven games he appeared in last season. A 2019 Pro Bowl selection, Brown has started 103 of 110 games over an 11-season NFL career spanning stints with the San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals, and the Texans.
Implications of Roster Moves on Texans’ Offensive Line
The Texans’ agreement with Brown follows their decision to trade Howard to the Cleveland Browns and Scruggs to the Detroit Lions, signaling a reshaping of their offensive line. Brown’s experience and versatility are expected to play a key role in stabilizing Houston’s line as the team moves forward.
