The A.J. Bouye pursuit looks like it will end up being too rich for the Texans to handle, as Bouye has informed Houston he’ll be signing elsewhere, tweets Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reported earlier today (on Twitter) the coveted fifth-year cornerback would likely end up leaving Houston and signing elsewhere once free agency opens. 
This may not mean the Texans won’t be seeing this former UDFA gem often. Each of the Texans’ AFC South brethren are in on Bouye — PFR’s No. 1 UFA — and each has far more cap space than the two-time defending division champions. The Texans come into free agency’s opening with $22MM-plus. That’s at least $25MM less than each of their division rivals.
Bouye broke out in a staggering way last season, becoming Pro Football Focus’ No. 3 overall cornerback after a previously nondescript career. The Texans offered Bouye a multiyear deal before 2016, but he opted to bet on himself and managed to reach free agency on the heels of one of the more notable contract years in recent memory. Houston, though, has made a commitment to its cornerback spot, having Johnathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson on veteran contracts and having drafted Kevin Johnson in the first round.
Love the player, but be smart Texans. Let him go. Draft CB’s, Sign OT.
There is a reason beyond Brady that NE stays good.
Get the heck out of Houston one and done he will be the worst signing of the 2017 FA season one boy wonder we don’t need ga!
We will Survive cause a country boy will Survive
Yeah, Trump Country Boy!!!! #TurnDownForWatt
Come to Green Bay, A.J.!
nope
I’d be lying if I said this didn’t suck, but I think it’s the right call. We’re still stacked at CB, and now we can take this money and re-allocate it to the o-line and Romo. I’m happy for the guy though, he’s definitely had to earn every penny he’s about to get
