Texans still expected to re-sign A.J. Bouye
The Houston Texans have an "80 percent chance" to re-sign free agent defensive back A.J. Bouye, believes longtime team beat writer John McClain.
What It Means:
The Texans aren't going to use the franchise tag on Bouye, but it appears they're willing to pay him the top-corner money that he's demanding. Turning just 26 in August, he's expected to see at least $12 million a year on the open market. After opening the year fourth on Houston's depth chart last season, Bouye went on to deflect a career-high 16 passes and emerged as one of the league's best corners.
The Texans came in sixth in opponent-adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points allowed per play in 2016.
