The Texans roster is very different from last season as they added many new faces and lost a few very familiar ones. Some of their moves include trading one of the elite WRs in the NFL and acquiring a new deep threat for Deshaun Watson. Here are the top 5 facts to know from the Houston Texans 2020 offseason:
DeAndre Hopkins put up HOF-type numbers during his time in Houston. It’s rare to see a player of his caliber shipped out.
The last skill position player to make All-Pro First Team in 3 straight seasons and then not return to his team the next season was Jim Brown when he retired in 1965. https://t.co/CfeFuIn2qt
Deshaun Watson gets one of the best deep threats in the entire NFL with the addition of Brandin Cooks.
The Texans acquire Brandin Cooks from the Rams less than a month after trading DeAndre Hopkins to the Cardinals for similar compensation.

Ross Blacklock looks to fill the big hole in run support that was left by D.J. Reader’s departure.
