Sean Pendergast grades the four biggest moves the Houston Texans made in free agency.

The big spending came and went on Monday, the first day that NFL teams could legally"tamper" with free agents from other teams and agree verbally to deals. The Houston Texans didn't spend much time shopping in the Dior aisle of free agency, as they let other teams cause the Javon Hargraves and Jessie Bates of the world with salary cap space.
Instead, the Texans shopped in the bargain department again,, albeit in slightly glitzier aisles than 2021 and 2022, but it was all about sensible spending, nonetheless. The trajectory of the team will be determined by the young players they draft, particularly whatever quarterback they take, but for now, the veterans they've added in free agency fit a mold — physically tough, battle tested, and still with some good football left in the tank.
Woods is a solid veteran, who was probably a victim of the gridlock that was the Tennessee Titans' offense last season, where he had his lowest output in a fully healthy season in his career, with 53 catches for 527 yards, a meager 9.9 yards per catch. Woods would improve on, at the very least, the yards per catch by accident in 2023. More importantly, Woods is a very willing blocker on the edge, a necessity in the offense Texans OC Bobby Slowik plans to implement.
