The Houston Texans have officially processed the contracts of two free agents they signed 2020 free agency.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans have processed the contracts for receiver Randall Cobb and safety Eric Murray.
The Texans agreed to terms with Cobb for three years, $27 million with $18 million guaranteed. Their agreement with Murray was also for three years, but for $18 million with $10.75 million guaranteed.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected free agency in the NFL to where contracts that would normally be locked up within days of the start of the new league year are dragging out. Part of the hold up is the availability of doctors to execute physicals, and then players to sign the actual contracts.
“I still haven’t had my physical yet, so I actually haven’t signed,” Cobb said on March 27. “I live out in L.A. in the offseason right now. Everything is shut down out here, and I haven’t had the opportunity to a doctor’s office and get my physical yet.”
The former 2014 Pro Bowl wideout is now with the Texans, as is Murray.
