Evan Brown’s Texas Tech Signing Boosts ‘Texas’ Famous Secondary

The Houston Texans needed to add another guard entering the 2026 season. They still need probably another interior lineman entering OTAs, but now, they can be picky on who to target in the draft and potentially free agency. According to NFL Network, the Texans have agreed to a deal with do-it-all offensive lineman Evan Brown, who was released by the Cardinals this week.

It's a one-year contract worth up to $3. 5 million, though none of the money is guaranteed. Brown, 29, started 11 games last season for the Cardinals, primarily at center.

He's also played for the Giants, Dolphins, Browns, Lions and Seahawks throughout his career. Former #AZCardinals G Evan Brown, who was released late this week, lands quickly with the #Texans on a 1-year deal for up to $3. 5M, per The Insiders.
