The Houston Texans are taking care of their guys first.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans are expected to re-sign inside linebacker Tyrell Adams to a one-year contract when free agency begins on March 18.
Adams produced 13 tackles and a forced fumble in his five games for the Texans in 2019, two of which he started.

“He’s really one of those guys, in my opinion, that really exemplifies what pro football is all about,” coach Bill O’Brien said of Adams on Dec. 23, 2019. “It’s about the fabric guys and the role players doing their jobs at the highest level when you ask them to do that. That’s what Tyrell does.”
With Adams added to the roster, the Texans are counting on the 6-2, 230-pound West Georgia product to be a key part of their special teams and also provide inside linebacker depth behind Pro Bowler Benardrick McKinney and Zach Cunningham.
