Cornerback may be a need for the Houston Texans as they begin their offseason.
The AFC South champions released cornerback Vernon Hargreaves on Friday. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2016 first-round pick was waived by his draft club in 2019, and the Texans picked up Hargreaves off waivers for six games with the cornerback starting in two of them.
The move helps the Texans clear an additional $10 million in salary cap space, which should help the club with its impending negotiations to keep defensive tackle D.J. Reader, running back Carlos Hyde, and a bevy of other free agents set to hit the open market when the new league year begins on March 18.
