Texans Free Agency Breakdown: 2026 Offseason Needs

Marc Vandermeer and John Harris preview Texans free agency, break down key pending free agents, and share Dalton Schultz's Radio Row take on C.J. Stroud and 2026. Marc Vandermeer and John Harris return for the second offseason edition of Texans All-Access with a deep dive into the 2026 free agency landscape. The duo plays "Wow, He's a Free Agent?" — running through Houston's key pending free agents including Sheldon Rankins, Tim Settle, Foley Fatukasi, Derek Barnett, Denico Autry, Dare Ogunbowale, Nick Chubb, Christian Kirk, and Tommy Townsend. The conversation also tackles the running back market, with names like Breece Hall, Travis Etienne, and Rico Dowdle on the table as potential fits alongside returning backs Joe Mixon and British Brooks. John makes a passionate case for bringing back Rankins as the emotional leader of the defensive line room, while the duo debates which veterans are must-keeps versus replaceable through the draft.
