Running back Carlos Hyde, who is slated to be a free agent in the offseason, says that he wants to remain with the Houston Texans.
The former 2014 San Francisco 49ers second-round pick came to the Texans as part of a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs on Aug. 31. In his 16 games with the Texans, Hyde produced 1,070 yards and six touchdowns on 245 carries, his first season of his career going past the 1,000-yard mark.
“I definitely want to be back here,” Hyde said after the Texans’ 51-31 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC divisional on Sunday. “I don’t want to go to another team and start all over again. I felt like Houston was home. I think I handled my part. I’ve just to let things play out in the offseason and see what happens.”
Hyde will turn 30 years old on Sept. 20. The Texans will keep Hyde in their evaluations for the running back stable for the 2020 season. Hyde replaced Lamar Miller as the feature back, who tore his ACL in the third preseason game. Miller is also on an expiring deal and will turn 29 on April 25.
