Episode Details

The Houston Texans’ right tackle battle just got spicy: Braden Smith, signed for $20M, isn’t the automatic starter fans thought he’d be. Trent Brown, already on the roster with a $7M one-year deal and a stellar 2023 season (only 1 sack on Stroud), is making his case with first-team reps after Smith’s offseason absence. Both have injury histories, so consistency and health will decide who starts — and it’s shaping up to be a real competition, not a guaranteed upgrade. With preseason games and joint practices ahead, the Texans may end up keeping their offensive line more familiar than expected.
