Texans - Team History
Houston Texans, professional football team, which will begin play
in the National Football League (NFL) during the 2002 season. The
Houston, Texas, franchise will be a member of South Division of the
American Football Conference (AFC) and play its home games in Houston’s
new Reliant Stadium.
The NFL accepted Houston’s proposal for a
team after a competing bid from Los Angeles, California, fell apart
in 1999. The Texans fill the void left by the Houston Oilers, who
moved to Tennessee in 1997. The Texans are owned by businessman
Robert McNair, and the general manager is Charley Casserly. The
franchise selected its team name in September 2000. In early 2001
Houston hired Dom Capers, former defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville
Jaguars, as its first head coach. Capers was also the first head
coach of the Carolina Panthers, who joined the NFL in 1995.
<p>The Texans are keeping their draft strategy as secret as possible, but their needs are not a secret. They need a running back and a cornerback first and foremost. They're expected to get both in the first three rounds, possibly the first two.</p>
<p>In their first eight drafts, the Texans never selected a running back in the first two rounds of the regular draft. They had to forfeit a second-round pick in 2003 after taking Georgia Tech running back Tony Hollings in the second round of the supplemental draft, and he turned out to be a huge bust.</p>
<p>The third round is the highest the Texans have selected a back in the April draft, and they did it twice, taking Vernand Morency (2005) and Steve Slaton (2008).</p>
<p>The best back they drafted was Dominique Davis in 2003.

How each of the 32 NFL teams are approaching Friday's opening of free agency with no salary cap: AFC BALTIMORE RAVENS Ravens don't intend to be thrifty. In quest to enhance roster, especially at wide receiver, Ravens expect to benefit from cost-cutting measures by other teams. "There will be some real good players that are going to get cut," general manager Ozzie Newsome said.
Cornerback Dunta Robinson is bidding the Houston Texans farewell, declaring himself a free agent. Robinson disclosed his plans Wednesday in e-mail to KRIV-TV of Houston and the Houston Chronicle. The Texans' first-round draft pick in 2004 out of South Carolina (10th overall) is the team's career leader in interceptions with 13.
