When a new coaching staff takes over a team, the transition if going to go better for some players than others. For the Texans this past season, there are guys like Nico Collins and Jon Greenard whose careers and future earning power may have been saved by DeMeco Ryans' arrival. On the other hand, at the far end of the"swept aside" side of the spectrum, there was Dameon Pierce.
Enter Ryans, and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, with a new zone running scheme. It was evident very early that Ryans REALLY wanted things to work with Pierce as the starter, and there was no way things were going to work with Pierce as the starter. By midseason, Devin Singletary took over the lead back role and never gave ti back.
So now what happens with Pierce? Singletary is a free agent, but Ryans has made no secret that he wants him back. The team could bring another veteran running back onto the roster. Pierce has two years left on his rookie deal, so he isn't going anywhere. The team isn't cutting him, at least not until after a full training camp and the paring down to 53 players in early September.
