CJ Stroud, a rookie quarterback, helped put Houston Texas on the map with his explosive plays and march to the AFC South championship. Houston could acquire some fascinating reinforcements around their star as they attempt to reclaim their title in year two.
If Saquon Barkley leaves the New York Giants, the Houston Texans are (+400) favourites to sign him, according to betonline.ag. The Chicago Bears (+500) and Los Angeles Chargers (+600) are the top three, with the New England Patriots (+700) and Baltimore Ravens (+900) rounding out the top five.
Barkley played the 2023 season under the franchise tag, with New York adding a $2 million bonus and incentives. After signing Daniel Jones to a big contract, the Giants begin the offseason with the 16th-largest cap space in the league, at over $39 million. Barkley has spent his whole career in New York, but the organization may not be willing to give him a big contract.
If that happens, the Texans appear to be a viable option for Barkley. In 2023, Houston’s lineup included Devin Singletary and Dameon Pierce. Singletary rushed for 898 yards and four touchdowns, while Pierce gained 416 yards and two scores.
Over 14 games, Saquon Barkley rushed for 962 yards and four touchdowns. He gained another 280 yards and four touchdowns through the air.
The Texans, led by CJ Stroud, will seek to defend their AFC South title. Adding Barkley to the mix would only make Houston’s offence scarier and the squad more well-rounded.
