The Houston Texans are making moves to prepare for the new NFL year 2021, which starts March 17.
The Texans announced Wednesday they have cut cornerbacks Brandon Williams and Mark Fields.
Williams, a former Texas A&M product, did not see an activation with the Texans in 2020, and was going to count $850,000 against the Texans’ salary cap. In 2020, Williams played six games for the New York Giants, recording one tackle.
Fields played the final two games of the 2020 season with the Texans after spending Weeks 2-14 with the Minnesota Vikings. The 5-10, 192-pound cornerback collected one combined tackle amid 17 special teams snaps.
With the departures of Fields and Williams, the Texans could be looking to go with younger talent to round out their roster under new coach David Culley.
