Report: Texans re-sign CB Vernon Hargreaves to 1-year contract

The adventure continues for cornerback Vernon Hargreaves.

The Houston Texans have re-signed the 25-year-old to a one-year contract, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

Hargreaves started every game for the Texans, and the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2016 first-round pick said on Dec. 16, 2020, that he “loved it here” when asked if he would like to re-sign with the Texans.

The former Florida Gator also enjoyed being one of the older players in the secondary, a role that he can continue to develop as he is set to return for his third season with Houston.

“For me it hasn’t really been too much of a change,” said Hargreaves. “Obviously, we didn’t want to lose the guys we lost, but everybody knows it’s the NFL. We all know that’s what happens. The leaders stepped up. They guys that have been here, they’ve stepped up, they’ve tried to help us lead.”

Hargreaves produced 72 combined tackles, a tackle for loss, seven pass breakups, and an interception for the Texans last season.
