The Buffalo Bills have had to make plenty of moves this offseason to get under the salary cap for the 2024 NFL league year and that came with some tough decisions on impactful players. One of Buffalo’s run-stuffing defensive tackles became a free-agent this offseason, but he did not go back to the Bills.
Per KPRC 2 Houston, Bills DT Tim Settle will be signing a two-year deal with the Houston Texans:

Settle, who visited the Texans earlier in the week after Houston lost some of their interior defensive lineman depth and came to terms on a two-year contract with a max value of $7 million.
Settle, 26, spent the past two seasons with Buffalo after signing with the Bills in free agency in March 2022, almost two years to the day. In two seasons with Buffalo, Settled played in 32 games (four starts) and piled up 33 tackles (20 solo), five tackles for losses, two sacks and four quarterback hits.
The Bills are still in good shape on the interior of their defensive line as they still have Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones to man the middle. Settle will be joining a Texans team that is making some big moves to build the tea around budding quarterback CJ Stroud.
