Cal McNair was right: the Houston Texans aren’t Patriots South.
They’re Cleveland Browns South.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Texans have agreed to terms to sign former Browns cornerback Tavierre Thomas to a two-year contract.
Thomas played in 45 games for the Browns over three seasons, starting in three of them. The former Ferris State product collected 47 combined tackles, 1.0 sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and two tackles for loss. However, his play in the transition phase of the game may have caught general manager Nick Caserio’s attention.
“Thomas is a great special teams player, one of the best gunners and return game blockers in the NFL,” Browns Wire managing editor Jeff Risdon said. “As a cornerback he’s kind of stiff and looks anxious, but he’s made a name for himself as an undrafted rookie by being very good on special teams and a good locker room presence.”
The Texans have also agreed to terms with cornerback Terrance Mitchell and linebacker Tae Davis, both previously with the Browns.
