List of Texans heading into final year of their contracts in 2022
The 2022 NFL season could the opportunity for the Houston Texans to shake the “rebuilding” tag that has stuck with them throughout the Nick Caserio era.
The hope is an improved defense and better weapons around second-year quarterback Davis Mills will provide optimism that contender status is right around the corner.
If the Texans exceed expectations, it will create a welcomed headache for Caserio: which players on expiring deals are worthy of contract extensions?
Here is a full list of Texans heading into the final year of their contract in 2022 (figures via Over the Cap):
