New TE Foster Moreau explains why he signed with Texans

What was the selling point for longtime veteran tight end Foster Moreau to sign with the Houston Texans ? DeMeco Ryans. And yes, the answer is that simple.

Moreau, who previously spent three seasons with the New Orleans Saints, recently told Texans All-Access that he knew that he'd be leaving this offseason and looking for a new team. When targeting his next roster, a vital importance to him was finding a leader who could resonate with his players. Enter Ryans, perhaps the league's most player-friendly coach in the modern NFL.

After one conversation, it was clear Moreau wanted to come to Houston. “DeMeco seems awesome," Moreau said. "Strong handshake, strong personality & a strong leader for this team and this city.

I got to work with [Texans offensive coordinator] Nick Caley when I was coming out & he’s always been someone I’ve wanted to work with closely. I had Jerry Schuplinski as well.... he’s a great guy & great leader for our offense.
