Emmanuel Pregnon, OG, Oregon The Houston Texans are the NFL’s youngest franchise, beginning play in 2002, and their early years were marked by steady growing pains.

When you look at how Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio and head coach Demeco Ryans have built the 2026 roster so far, it takes a minute to find a hole in the starting lineup.

We are 14 days out from the start of the NFL Draft. Houston enters with eight total picks including four in the top 70.

In an attempt to keep the playing field as level as possible, the NFL has fairly strict controls on what teams can and cannot do in the offseason as far as coaching up players, installing schemes and other necessary preparations for the coming season.

As you’ll see in an article later this week, this will be the most complicated draft to predict in the Nick Caserio era.

The New England Patriots and former third-round draft pick Marte Mapu will go their separate ways. On Tuesday, the third-year linebacker and special teamer was informed of his upcoming release.

The Patriots will send Mapu and a 2027 seventh-round draft […]
