Minor NFL Transactions: 2/1/24
One minor move to pass along:
Free Agent
- Retired: TE Antony Auclair
Auclair is calling it a career after having spent five-plus years in the NFL. The Université Laval product caught on with the Buccaneers as an UDFA in 2017, and he ended up spending four years with the organization. He totaled 40 games (20 starts) in Tampa Bay, hauling in 10 catches for 84 yards. He earned a ring after appearing in eight games for the Bucs in 2020. He spent the 2021 campaign in Houston, adding another five catches to his resume. He hasn’t been on an NFL roster since he spent the 2022 preseason with the Titans.

Waived/injured:
Placed on IR:
- DL Derek Rivers
Placed on short-term IR;
Davis Mills and Kyle Allen sit atop Houston’s QB depth chart, making Jeff Driskel expendable, but there’s a chance the veteran sticks around as a third quarterback via the practice squad. Driskel spent the 2021 campaign in Houston, getting into a single game. He’s started nine of his 16 career games, tossing 13 touchdowns vs. eight interceptions.
Chris Conley has spent seven seasons in the NFL, and he could have provided some experience to the receivers room. There’s a chance the veteran could end up back in Houston, as the Texans decided to carry only four wideouts in Nico Collins, Brandin Cooks, Phillip Dorsett, and Chris Moore.
Antony Auclair started 13 games for Houston last season, mostly serving as a blocking tight end. Terrence Brooks started three of his 11 appearances, collecting 21 tackles.
