Xavien Howard Eyes Houston Texans for Next NFL Chapter

The four-time Pro Bowler seeks to join his hometown team, willing to take a pay cut for a better playoff shot.

Xavien Howard, a free agent cornerback and four-time Pro Bowler, expresses a strong desire to play for the Houston Texans, his hometown team.
Howard's move to the Texans could boost a defense that already includes notable players like Derek Stingley Jr., enhancing the team's competitive edge.
Despite potential concerns over Howard's age and past injuries, he is willing to take a pay cut to join a team with a better chance at playoff success.
The Miami Dolphins released Howard earlier this offseason, ending his eight-season tenure with the team during which he became a leading cornerback.
Howard's potential addition to the Texans follows the team's successful season under first-time head coach DeMeco Ryans, sparking excitement about further improvements.
