Value of Things: Texans salary crunch

Winners and Losers after the Houston Texans 2026 NFL Draft
Being the older sibling means eventually learning that comfort is fragile. Once a younger sibling arrives, attention is divided, expectations increase, and the margin for error shrinks.

When Nick Caserio drafted Derek Stingley Jr. over Sauce Gardner I thought they got it wrong. But they didn’t. Sting is now considered the top CB in the NFL. When they drafted Kamari Lassiter I was hopefully optimistic he would contribute. He definitely has. When Calen Bullock heard his name called, I smiled cause he […]
