With free agency less than a month old, the Houston Texans are trapped at a high -level expense crossroads to search for good deals to improve their off -season list.
A Houston area must be willing to spend is around the offensive line. Laremy Tunsil is located in the left tackle and Blake Fisher should enter the camp as a projected starter on the right side, but the three interior positions could be improved.
Who could target Houston? Well, it seems that the best offensive line players will be available on the free market during the period of legal falsification on March 10.
According to Nate Taylor of athleticsTHE Chiefs of Kansas City should not franchiser the tag Offensive guard of Pro Bowl Trey Smith Before the free agency. The decision is likely because all offensive line players, including strongly paid offensive plated, are grouped with the franchise label, thus leading to a higher annual salary.
If Smith was to be labeled, his salary scheduled for 2025 would be just over 25 million dollars. Kansas City plans to make an offer to stay for him, but other teams also plan to wake him up with the title champions of the AFC.
A choice of sixth round in 2021 in Tennessee, Smith started the 80 games of the regular season and the playoffs at the right guard. It was the anchor of the interior offensive line which protected the double quarter-back MVP Patrick Mahomes for four years.
THE Texans could move away from Shaq Mason to release the cap space, thus leading to an opening to the position of the right guard. Under the new offensive coordinator Nick Campy, he plans to be put forward on the control of the race game, a force area in the game of Smith in the past four years.
Smith is should order a higher dollar After another promising season. Texans at the moment are limited in the cap spaceThis could serve as a problem compared to other desperate teams. Tennessee Titans, Chicago Bears, New England Patriots and the commander of Washington would all be in the running for Smith’s services, each team having Over $ 50 million in the ceiling space.
If Houston is missing Smith, that does not mean that it will target a line player in free agency. After abandoning 52 bags against the quarter CJ Stroud, the Texans need stability to protect their quarter-tree in a pivot 3 year.
Smith would be an immediate upgrade of this offensive line, but he is not the only starter usable on the market. Other Houston interior line lines could rotate to Teven Jenkins from Chicago, Mekhi Becton from Philadelphia, James Daniels de Pittsburgh, Drew Dalman of Atlanta, Kevin Zeitler de Detriot and Will Fries.
