The NFL trade deadline is 3:00 p.m. Central Time on Tuesday, Oct. 31.
The Houston Texans may not be among the teams looking to swap tricks for treats as the needs across the roster are relatively filled, or too precious to actually address. Don’t look for any franchise to trade their interior offensive linemen.
Nevertheless the Texans are still open to offers and have their feelers throughout the other 31 front offices.
DeMeco Ryans is going through his first trade deadline as coach, and outlined just what type of role he has as the deadline passes.
“When it comes to the trade deadline, [general manager] Nick and his scouting staff have done a really good job of looking at guys all throughout the year,” Ryans told reporters Oct. 30. “So, they handle that, we handle the coaching piece of it. If there are opportunities to make our team better, we always look at all opportunities.”
The opportunities for Ryans and his team may come in actual game experiences. Houston looks to prevent their second losing streak of the season as they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday at 12:00 p.m. Central Time at NRG Stadium.
