Value of Things: Secondary Free Agency market— running backs

We keep going through our series of what the Texans could add before training camp to round out their roster. No team will have a perfect roster. You will always have holes or positions where you counting on young and/or injured players to step up.

We have already looked at defensive end and so we now add running back to the mix. As was stated last time, the Texans probably can add one more significant free agent (ie more than veteran minimum), so this is not a ringing endorsement for any of these players. It is a simple smattering of what is possibly available.

The justification for an extra running should not be hard to grasp considering what happened with Joe Mixon last year. Nick Chubb was signed to be a backup running and ended up having a job share with Woody Marks. The overall numbers looked effective for him, but like anything else, a few breakout runs masked an overall lackluster performance.

Marks went to the medical tent at least once in every game he played last season. If he or David Montgomery were to go down you would end up in the same exact situation that you were in in 2025. Jawhar Jordan and British Brooks are back and showed they could carry some of the load last season.
