With the the start of free agency in the books and NFL teams, including the Houston Texans, looking for potential fits for their roster at bargain contracts, an interesting note came out regarding the Texans. Rumors were swirling that the Texans were not interested in top offensive tackle free agent Trent Brown for various reasons but that was far from the truth.

The Texans knew they had to find ways to upgrade in certain spots and for the second off-season in a row, the Texans have attempted to upgrade the left tackle position. This time the target was the left tackle from the New England Patriots in Brown.

On the Lefkoe Show, Adam Lefkow had new Oakland Raiders offensive tackle Trent Brown on the podcast to discuss his signing with the Oakland Raiders. Brown discussed the day of the signing and going to Drew Rosenhaus' residence to look over offers that were on the table heading into the new league year.

Brown discussed making the decision on where he was going to play.

“He (Rosenhaus) actually had three offers on the table, but the one I chose was a no-brainer.” Brown explained.

When Brown was asked who was the other two teams.

Brown answered, “Houston and the Patriots.”

This is the second season in a row that the Texans and general manager Brian Gaine has fallen short on potentially landing a left tackle to protect Deshaun Watson.

During the 2018 off-season, the Texans missed on left tackle Nate Solder and this off-season resulted in another whiff on Brown.

Brown ended up becoming the highest paid offensive lineman in NFL history, which more than likely played a part into the reason the Texans offer was not accepted in the end.
