The Texans have seemingly improved the talent on the roster in a big way this offseason. 

A multitude of solid veterans has been brought in to provide leadership and experience. Sheldon Rankins, Denzel Perryman, Shaq Mason, and Robert Woods highlight the list of new Texans. 

However, one national media outlet does not agree with the strategy of collecting solid veterans on one-year deals. 

Brad Spielberger of PFF recently released his favorite and least favorite free agency move made by each team. 

For the Texans, Spielberger didn't point out one particular move he didn't like, instead referring to the tactic of signing veterans to short-term deals. 

Per Spielberger:

The free agency approach of adding high-character veterans to a roster that needed a complete overhaul made a lot of sense when Nick Caserio initially took the reins in Houston. It makes less sense now. 

Spielberger has a point. Patching holes with veterans on one-year deals is what good teams can afford to do, not rebuilding teams. 

That's not to say these additions won't help the team in 2023, but they do nothing to change the long-term trajectory. Instead, the team will just be filling those same holes a year from now. 

Sheldon Rankins, Hassan Ridgeway, Chase Winovich, Noah Brown, Cory Littleton, Denzel Perryman, and Dalton Schultz all signed one-year deals. If these guys have productive seasons, they could receive long-term offers from other teams. 

Spielberger was not all negative, though. 

Regarding his favorite move made by the Texans, Spielberger selected the signing of TE Dalton Schultz. 

Spielberger said the following regarding Schultz:

A day after the Houston Texans traded wide receiver Brandin Cooks to the Dallas Cowboys, the former Cowboys tight end signed in Houston on a one-year flier that was one of the more surprising deals of the entire offseason. Houston needs another reliable pass catcher in its offense with a rookie quarterback on the way, but the team also gets a tight end who can block with some of the best in the NFL in an offense that is expected to need that skill set at the position. Over the past three seasons, Schultz joins George Kittle and Mark Andrews as the only tight ends to earn receiving and run-blocking grades above 70.0 each year. 

While Schultz is on a one-year deal himself, Spielberger believes he would provide enough value to greatly impact the offense in Houston.

Houston desperately needed a tight end after losing Jordan Akins to the Browns. Schultz has had 55+ receptions and 4+ touchdowns for three consecutive seasons. As Spielberger points out, the tight end can hold his own in the blocking arena as well.
