The Texans hosted a free agent pass rusher earlier this week. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport (on Twitter), defensive end Rasheem Green visited the Texans on Monday.
The USC product was a 2018 third-round pick by the Seahawks, and he ended up seeing time in 53 games during his four seasons in Seattle. After starting only eight games through his first three seasons in the NFL, Green took on a bigger role in 2021, starting 16 of his 17 appearances. The 24-year-old finished the year with 48 tackles, 6.5 sacks, and 15 QB hits.
While Green still hasn’t found a new home, he’s been a popular name. The defensive end met with the Ravens earlier this offseason and later visited the Panthers. The pass-rusher has also been in contact with the Seahawks about a potential reunion.
Considering Green’s breakout 2021 campaign (and limited track record), he’d be a logical fit for a Texans squad that’s looking to make the most of their resources during their rebuild.
