Texans Sign Versatile Lineman Evan Brown to One-Year Deal Worth Up to $3.5 Million

The low-cost pact adds experienced interior depth and keeps options open for further offensive line reinforcements.

Overview

  • Brown agreed to a one-year contract reported at up to $3.5 million shortly after his March 12 release by the Cardinals, according to NFL Network.
  • The deal was negotiated by agents Sean Kiernan and Tommy Povinelli of Athletes First, per Ian Rapoport.
  • Reporting indicates the contract carries little or no guaranteed money, aligning with Houston’s flexible approach late in free agency.
  • Brown has started 68 of 85 career games with significant snaps at left guard, center, and right guard across stints with six other teams.
  • His 2025 season in Arizona was viewed as a downturn and he missed the final five games for a personal matter, yet he projects as veteran depth as Houston continues to seek additional interior help via free agency or the draft.
