As expected the Houston Texans addressed the quarterback position in the offseason.
The Texans claimed Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback E.J. Perry off waivers Wednesday.
The waiver priority is identical to the first-round order in the 2023 NFL draft, which means if the Texans put in a claim, they are are second behind the Bears in acquiring the waived player.
Perry signed as a priority free agent with the Jaguars after the 2022 draft, and was later released with a non-football injury designation on July 24. Jacksonville brought back on Aug. 9, but then waived him at the end of preseason on Aug. 30 as part of a roster-massaging move to stash him on the practice squad. The former Boston College and Brown quarterback signed a reserve/future deal with the Jaguars on Jan. 23, but was waived on March 7.
Along with third-year Davis Mills, the Texans have two quarterbacks on their roster.
