Summary
- Texans signed tackle Braden Smith to a two-year deal.
- The contract includes $13.5 million in guaranteed money.
- Smith previously played for the Indianapolis Colts.
The Houston Texans have significantly bolstered their offensive line with the acquisition of Braden Smith. The team reached a two-year agreement with the former Indianapolis Colts tackle, a deal valued at $25 million.
This contract includes a substantial $13.5 million in guaranteed funds, providing stability for the Texans' front. Smith, who is set to turn 30 on March 25, has a proven track record.
Since joining the Colts in 2018, Smith has started in 105 out of 107 games played, predominantly at right tackle. Last season, he made 13 starts despite missing some time due to concussion protocol.
This move is part of a broader strategy by the Texans to strengthen their offensive line. The team recently extended veteran tackle Trent Brown for one year and $7 million, and also re-signed right guard Ed Ingram to a three-year, $37.5 million deal.
