The Houston Texans have snagged another veteran offensive tackle -- and this one has a Super Bowl ring from his time with the New England Patriots.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Texans are signing veteran offensive tackle Trent Brown to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million.
Brown was the Patriots' starting left tackle during the team’s 2018 Super Bowl run. A year later, he made his lone career Pro Bowl with the Raiders.
Brown returned to the Patriots in 2021, spending three more seasons in New England. But by the end of the 2023 season, Brown’s relationship with the Patriots had frayed, leading to his departure in free agency.
The 31-year-old tackle has struggled with injuries throughout his career. Over 10 years in the NFL, Brown has played in every game just three times.
Brown spent the 2024 season with the Cincinnati Bengals, but missed most of the year after tearing his patellar tendon in Week 3.
The Brown signing comes after Houston had already scooped up veteran left tackle Cam Robinson, who would have filled a need in New England.
The Patriots made one major move on the offensive line, signing right tackle Morgan Moses. However, the team still has a glaring need at left tackle.
