Josh McCown News
Former quarterback Josh McCown has appeared to vault to the top of the heap of Houston Texans' head-coaching candidates, per John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. McCown, 42, has never held a head coaching post beyond the high school level but his relationship with Texans brass has reportedly worked heavily in his favor. Houston moved on from David Culley after just one season in which he went 4-13, largely held back by the team's uncertainty under center. McCown played 16 seasons in the NFL, appearing in 102 games (76 starts) in that span. It's unclear what type of offense he would run -- and whether or not Deshaun Watson would be at his disposal -- if hired.
The Houston Texans released quarterback Josh McCown on Monday, according to the NFL's transaction wire. The 41-year-old played in three games for the Eagles in 2019 and became the league's oldest practice-squad player after he served as an emergency quarterback at the start of last season. McCown was signed to the active roster in November, but he never saw the field. The Texans actually interviewed him for their vacant head-coaching position in January, so McCown could get into coaching once he retires as a player. The Texans also announced on Monday that they signed running backs Buddy Howell and Dontrell Hilliard and cornerback Cornell Armstrong to contract extensions.
The Houston Texans are signing veteran quarterback Josh McCown on Wednesday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. McCown was part of the Eagles practice squad earlier this season, but he'll now join Houston's active roster as the third-stringer behind Deshaun Watson and backup A.J. McCarron. The 41-year-old is more of a coach at this point of his career than a player, as he became the oldest practice squad player in NFL history with the Eagles earlier this season. McCown lives in Texas, so he'll get to be closer to home with his new squad.
