The Houston Texans were a team comprised of players on expiring contracts and one-year deals in 2021, which leaves a bevy of decisions for general manager Nick Caserio and new coach Lovie Smith to deal with as they form the 2022 incarnation.
One player who is set to hit free agency is defensive end Jacob Martin, one of the two players, along with a 2020 third-round pick, the Texans picked up in their trading of Jadeveon Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks.
According to Hall of Fame scouting and personnel Gil Brandt from NFL.com, the Texans need to make an effort to retain Martin.
