The Houston Texans have the fourth-most salary cap space in the NFL for 2023 at $37.1 million. They should be able to sign a couple veteran free agents to help complete the rebuild.
According to Jordan Dajani from CBS Sports, one name the Texans should consider is San Francisco 49ers cornerback Emmanuel Moseley, who is coming off a torn ACL sustained in Week 5. With his former defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans taking a job with the Texans, it makes sense for Houston to at least consider Moseley.
Maybe the Texans are finally moving in the right direction with the hire of DeMeco Ryans. They have plenty of work to do in this rebuild, but something he should consider doing is taking one of his cornerbacks with him to H-Town in Emmanuel Moseley. He tore his ACL in 2022, but that may just help Ryans steal him in free agency. Moseley turns 27 in March, and allowed a 57.0 passer rating when targeted in 2021. He’s an underrated player that GM John Lynch has said he wants back.
Moseley was a name the Texans Wire had listed as a free agent to consider from the divisional round.
The former 2018 undrafted free agent from Tennessee generated 162 combined tackles, five tackles for loss, a quarterback hit, four interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, and 33 pass breakups through 45 games, 33 of which he started.
Houston has a dominant cornerback of the future in Derek Stingley. The Texans also have cornerback Steven Nelson under contract. However, adding Moseley would be the type of lieutenant or example that Ryans could use to install his new mindset and scheme inside NRG Stadium.
