The Houston Texans have made some very, very good moves this free agency, but they have lost some guys as well.

Of course, the Texans had one of the more splashy moves in free agency, when they signed defensive end Danielle Hunter to a bog deal. They not only got a better player than the one they lost in Jonathan Greenard, but they also got a guy who is from the Houston area.

The Texans traded for and then signed running back Joe Mixon, who was on the Cincinnati Bengals the last seven years. Now, they have some underrated pieces on the roster as well, and overall, have won in free agency.

However, like every team, they have still lost some very good players to other teams. In the Texans' case, they have lost some depth pieces that they will have to find an answer for.

According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2, the Baltimore Ravens signed former Texans offensive lineman Josh Jones, who was a vital depth piece last season as the Texans dealt with a ton of injuries on the offensive line.

Jones played in 13 games for the Texans last season and started three games at tackle. The good thing is that the Texans have already filled out their depth chart on the offensive line front. They have third-string positions available for the left tackle and guard positions, but that is about it. Jones will be great for the Ravens, a new Texans' rival.
