-Texans BREAKING NEWS: Houston has RELEASED RB Joe Mixon; -Contract Extension for Texans Pass Rusher Danielle Hunter! PAY DAY- -An UGLY Loss Last Night for the Rockets to VERY Short Handed Warriors Squad -Time for these Texans to Open that Check Book this Offseason? -Are there some Astros JOBS Very Much 'On the Line' this Baseball Season?! -MORE Texans Breaking News on Friday!

Let's be clear, Houston- if the Texans are serious about winning, there's one thing they MUST do.. Open the check book for a top tier Center to put on that Texan O-Line in 2026!
Source: Texans signing veteran tight end Dalton Schultz to one-year, $12.6 million extension through 2027 season after career-high 82 catches! Houston General Manager Nick Caserio's BUSY week of roster molding continued on Friday!
Texans are signing Pro Bowl defensive end Danielle Hunter to a one-year, $40 million extension, per a league source-
The 'MIXON Saga' of sorts in H-Town came to it's end Friday afternoon during THE DRIVE..!
Joe Mixon released, Danielle Hunter extended and Wade Smith breaks down the O-line rebuild. Plus Nick Caserio on cap strategy ahead of Monday's tampering period. John Harris hosts a loaded Friday show on the eve of the legal tampering period, packing in a week's worth of roster news, a Wade Smith interview, and Nick Caserio audio. The biggest headline: Joe Mixon has been released at his own request, saving the Texans $8 million in cap space and officially closing the book on his Houston tenure after an injury-plagued 2025 season. That move pairs with several other transactions — Danielle Hunter receives a contract extension providing both long-term security and immediate cap relief, Derek Stingley Jr. and Jalen Pitre restructure their deals to free up space, MJ Stewart returns on a one-year deal to shore up the secondary, and Dalton Schultz gets a one-year extension to remain through 2027. Former Pro Bowl guard Wade Smith provides the episode's analytical centerpiece in a pre-recorded interview with Marc Vandermeer. Wade credits Cole Popovich and the offensive line staff for genuine improvement in 2025, explains from personal experience why playing multiple positions can extend a career but may prevent maximizing at one spot, and describes the emotional rollercoaster of free agency — visiting Buffalo where former coaches tugged at his heartstrings, falling in love with Houston on his visit, then being pushed by his agent to leverage an Arizona trip he didn't want to take. On the current roster, Wade sees Aireontae Ersery and Trent Brown as likely starters at the tackle spots and emphasizes the need to invest in the interior, noting Ed Ingram's career-best season will price him high on the open market. He also raves about the Toro District facility at Bridgeland, comparing it to Frisco, Texas and the Cowboys' Star complex. The final segment features Nick Caserio's appearance on Sports Radio 610's Sean & Seth show, where the GM provides a candid look at the free agency big board process — starting with all available unrestricted free agents, narrowing to 25-30 realistic targets across positions, and eliminating mismatches in value quickly so the team doesn't "waste time." Caserio speaks warmly about Tytus Howard's professionalism, acknowledges the difficulty of managing competing contract demands, explains why the offensive line turnover isn't an indictment of individual players but a roster construction reality, and pushes back on PFF grades as "a data point" that lacks the context of being in meeting rooms. The show closes with league news including Taylor Decker's release from Detroit, Geno Smith's release from the Raiders, and DJ Moore's trade to Buffalo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Seth and Sean discuss some of what jumped out at them from their conversation with Texans GM Nick Caserio, including the Tytus Howard and David Montgomery trades.
Seth and Sean dive into some clips of the more intriguing things Texans GM Nick Caserio had to say in their conversation earlier.
ohn McClain reacts to the impending Tytus Howard and David Montgomery trades, Jerry Schuplinski takes over as QB coach, and the 2026 coaching staff is set. Plus flag football. Marc Vandermeer goes solo on a packed Wednesday night that covers the full spectrum from blockbuster trade reactions to girls flag football. Hall of Fame writer John McClain opens the show with his trademark candor on the week's two trades: he loves the David Montgomery deal — "some members of the national media were criticizing it and I don't understand why" — highlighting that Montgomery's 33 rushing touchdowns over the last three years dwarf the Texans' red zone production (Montgomery had eight touchdowns alone last year; the entire Texans backfield had nine). McClain predicts Nick Caserio will trade out of the first round for the second consecutive year, potentially acquiring three second-round picks, and sees as many as three new offensive line starters in 2026. On Tytus Howard, he understands the financial reality with the Will Anderson Jr. extension looming — Anderson "might be the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history." McClain also weighs in on the Colts' transition tag on Daniel Jones, calls the Anthony Richardson pick "one of the biggest mistakes in the history of the draft," predicts Alec Pierce lands with Drake Maye and the Patriots, and offers his skepticism on Kyler Murray's work habits. Marc then breaks down the 2026 coaching staff announcement, headlined by Jerry Schuplinski taking over as quarterbacks coach after Jerrod Johnson's departure. Marc details Schuplinski's extensive NFL résumé — Patriots (three Super Bowls), Dolphins, Giants, Raiders, Rams under Sean McVay — and cites glowing endorsements from Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jimmy Garoppolo about his specific impact on their development. He emphasizes that the John Carroll connection doesn't define Schuplinski; his decade-plus of NFL experience across multiple offensive systems does. Marc also celebrates the returns of Corey Undlin (defensive passing game coordinator) and Dino Vasso despite both receiving outside interview interest. The middle segment features Amon-Ra St. Brown's podcast comments on Montgomery's departure from Detroit — "He's an RB1 on 31 other teams... I told everyone, keep him on your fantasy team because he's about to go even crazier" — and Marc's deep dive into NBC's throwback NBA broadcast, complete with Houstonized versions of the classic NBC and CBS basketball themes tied to Rockets championship memories. The show closes with Brett Stewart, Director of Youth Football Development for the Texans, discussing the explosive growth of girls flag football — 130-plus high school teams across Texas, the push for UIL sanctioning, the combined Senior Showcase that drew 525 boys and 228 girls with 70-plus college programs offering scholarships on the spot, and the road to the 2028 Olympics. Marc and Brett also build an all-Texans Olympic flag football roster featuring C.J. Stroud, Derek Stingley Jr., Nico Collins, Calen Bullock, and Kamari Lassiter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
