The Houston Texans kicked off free agency with some smart roster upgrades on both offense

and defense, building on last season's foundation.

Now, with the initial rush of big signing slowing down across the league, a few solid veterans

remain available at bargain prices.

Teams like Houston could still snag depth pieces as the draft approaches at the end of

next month.

The Texans face gaps on the defensive line after losing Tim Settle and Mario Edwards opening

spots next to Sheldon Rankins.

Fans are buzzing about potential targets, including 34-year-old defensive tackle Shelby Harris,

who held his own on Cleveland's strong front.

Last year.

His experience could make him a reliable rotation player on a short deal.

Meanwhile, the running back room got a boost from trading for David Montgomery, but 26-year-old

Brian Robinson Jr. offers fresh legs and proven workload ability from his Washington

days.

Adding veteran wide-out DeAndre Hopkins, a former Texan star who calls Houston home, might

bring steady hands in some nostalgia too.

These low-cost moves could polish the depth chart just right, setting up a competitive push

into the new season.
