Houston is well-positioned to have a strong draft in 2026, as the organization has four selections in the top 70. Building up the offensive line is going to be a major focus for General Manager Nick Caserio.

There is reportedly mutual interest between the Texans and veteran offensive lineman Wyatt Teller, as first reported by Aaron Wilson. Teller is one of the better guards in the NFL, having been named an All-Pro twice and voted to the Pro Bowl three times. He has spent his entire career with the Cleveland Browns, but he is expected to leave the organization in free agency.
According to Spotrac, Teller is expected to earn a contract in free agency in the neighborhood of $10 million in average annual value. The site projects that he will sign a three-year deal worth $30 million. It is also important to consider that the veteran may want to take a pay cut to play for a true contender. He has gone through a lot of losing in Cleveland, and coming to a contender may be more important than earning a ton of money at this stage of his career. Houston certainly falls into that category after advancing in the playoffs in each of the last three years.
Adding a veteran like Teller would be beneficial in more ways than one. His play has taken a step back since his younger years, but he is still an above-average guard in the league. He would also be a strong veteran presence on the offense, particularly on a young offensive line.
The mutual interest between the two sides is important, and Houston fans should hope for a deal to get done early in free agency. It seems like a done deal that Teller will not be returning to Cleveland.
Houston can also explore other offensive line options from the Browns, as the franchise is not expected to bring back any of its five starters from the 2025 season.
