The Houston Texans saddled up Davis Mills as their starting quarterback in 2022.
The move could be interpreted as an easy way to seem competitive while sticking to the long-term plan of getting upfield to the 2023 offseason when the Texans’ salary cap space will be an asset in team building. If Houston’s proprietary draft picks are also blue-chip thanks to their poor record, it will have been worth allowing Mills a whole season as the starter.
However, the moves the Texans made along the offensive line suggest the club is trying to actually build around Mills — or at least provide him a fair shot at the starting job long-term.
