00:00 Well, after clinching an unexpected AFC South title and securing a thrilling wildcard round
00:04 playoff win, the Houston Texans, led by General Manager Nick Casariego and Head Coach D'Amico
00:09 Rynes, find themselves in a promising position with ample cap space at their disposal.
00:15 They aim to elevate their team from playoff contenders to serious Super Bowl contenders.
00:20 Now, the Texans are just shy of $70 million worth of cap space, allowing them to engage
00:25 actively in the free agent market this offseason, but the Texans must also address the impending
00:30 free agency of several key internal players.
00:33 They must address the re-signing of key internal free agents like Jonathan Greenard and Blake
00:38 Cashman while also addressing roster needs through free agency.
00:42 And striking the right balance between these priorities will be crucial as they seek to
00:46 build upon their playoff achievements and contend for that Super Bowl.
00:50 Now, CJ Stroud won't be eligible for a new contract until after the 2025 season.
00:56 However, Houston should also allocate funds for his top target, wide receiver Nico Collins,
01:02 in his inaugural season under offensive coordinator Bobby Slowick.
01:06 Collins thrived, recording 80 receptions, over 1,200 yards, and 8 touchdowns in 15 games.
01:12 Despite trading their first-round pick to the Arizona Cardinals in the Will Anderson
01:16 Junior trade, the Texans still possess the #23 overall pick from the Cleveland Browns
01:21 acquired in the Deshaun Watson trade.
01:24 Now, this enables them to draft and develop affordable talent to complement potential
01:29 high-cost veterans in the future.
