Texans
The Texans continue their major rebuild in 2022. Last year, 65-year-old first-time head coach David Culley led them to a 4-13 record. Culley was one and done and 64-year-old Lovie Smith was promoted from his associate head coach/defensive coordinator role. Culley did not inherit a very talented roster nor does Smith. Apart from Laremy Tunsil and Brandin Cooks — arguably the team’s two best players — the Texans have no one on the roster who will count more than $6.3 million against the cap this season. That includes quarterback Davis Mills, the team’s third-round selection in 2021, who put together some solid play down the stretch last year. The jury is still out on Mills, but he is likely to get one more year to prove he can be a starting quarterback before the 2023 NFL draft, when Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud will be available.
