It has been reported in a few media outlets that backup QB Rex Grossman has signed a 1 year deal with Washington. John David Booty was signed by Houston this past January to add depth to the QB position.
All indicators are pointing to the imminent departure of G Chester Pitts. He is set to visit with both Detroit and San Francisco this week. As one of the original remaining Houston Texans, it will be sad to see his run ending here, but I do wish him the best of luck with his remaining NFL career.
I read on the transaction wire that Houston signed G/C Wade Smith on Tuesday. His 8 years of NFL experience on the Offensive Line should give the Texans a nice boost. Last season he played in all 16 games with Kansas City, including 9 as a starter.
The 2010 NFL Draft is quickly approaching. The consensus, at least over at Foxsports.com, is that Houston is in need of a Running Back. At this point I'm not sure of Steve Slaton's status, but providing he is healthy I don't see much of a reason to try to draft another feature back. The fumble problems weren't confined to Slaton and all of the backs employed this past season had difficulty getting the ball any decent distance past the line of scrimmage. I have heard talk that Houston should get a big interior Defensive Lineman to help take some of the pressure off DT Amobi Okoye. Okoye does have the quickness and has shown flashes of what he can do, but he does need another big 300+ pounder to help him break through the interior blocking. The Texans also have a need at Cornerback. At this point the Texans already have 2 corners coming off rookie seasons, so I would look for a veteran to help these guys along in their development.
