Veteran Houston Texans Wide Receiver Listed As Potential Cut Candidate
The Houston Texans made a concerted effort to improve their roster after winning the AFC South and making it to the divisional round of the playoffs in 2023. They leaned heavily into bringing in star talent to bolster their defense and surround second-year QB C.J. Stroud with as many weapons as possible.
With so many talented players on the roster coupled with the depth at the skill positions, there will undoubtedly be someone on the outside looking in, and"Veteran receiver Robert Woods played a big role for the Houston Texans in 2023. While his 40 catches and 426 receiving yards were far from eye-catching, he served as a veteran leader for a franchise learning how to win.
After winning the AFC South and a playoff game last season, though, the Texans have figured out the winning part of the equation. They're also not short on receiving talent, with Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Noah Brown, John Metchie III and newcomer Stefon Diggs headlining the receiver room. The Texans surrendered a second-round pick to land Diggs—plus a 2024 sixth-rounder and a 2025 fifth-rounder—so his roster spot should be secure. Woods' place likely hinges on how Houston weighs his leadership against the cost of keeping him for another season.The 32-year-old journeyman wideout will be entering his 13th season in the league and his production has begun to slip over the past couple of seasons.
