Texans to Try Out Ex-Packers QB Clayton Tune at Rookie Minicamp

Houston is vetting candidates for a QB3 spot behind C.J. Stroud.

Overview

  • Reporter Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle said Clayton Tune will attend a Texans rookie minicamp tryout to seek an offseason contract.
  • Houston lists C.J. Stroud, Davis Mills and 2025 sixth-rounder Graham Mertz at quarterback, creating room to evaluate a developmental third option.
  • League rules allow up to five unsigned veterans to participate in rookie minicamps on a tryout basis, giving teams live looks at depth while helping run drills.
  • Tune, a 2023 fifth-round pick by Arizona, has gone 21-for-38 for 112 yards with three interceptions in the NFL and started for Green Bay in Week 18 last season.
  • The former University of Houston passer recently had a brief UFL stint and could revisit that route if no deal emerges, as quarterback jobs continue to churn across the league.
