Texans find swing tackle in former Pro Bowler Trent Brown
Add another offensive lineman into the mix for the Houston Texans.
According to reports, the Texans have agreed to terms with veteran offensive tackle Trent Brown on a one-year deal worth up to $3 million. Brown will compete with Tytus Howard, Blake Fisher and recently signed Cam Robinson for first-team reps during training camp while looking to make the active 53-man roster.
After signing with Cincinnati last offseason, a season-ending ruptured patellar tendon limited Brown to just three games. Before that, Brown was named the starting right tackle for the Bengals and looked overall promising in his brief stint blocking for Pro Bowler Joe Burrow.
Before signing with the Bengals, Brown spent three seasons with the New England Patriots, so he has a previous relationship with both Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley and new offensive line coach Cole Popovich. Brown also was a Pro Bowl honoree in 2019 as a member of the then-Oakland Raiders.

Durability has hindered Brown's growth and playing time over the past decade in the pros. Since 2018, the 31-year-old has played in all his teams' regular-season games just once in the past six years. Since being drafted out of Florida in 2015, he's appeared in 103 contests, starting at both left and right tackle.
The Texans were looking for a swing tackle to shore up the offensive line after Laremy Tunsil was traded to the Washington Commanders for four future draft picks. Brown can play both sides and should at least be a stable cheap option behind Fisher, Robinson or a potential rookie long-term heir in Houston.
