The Houston Texans released cornerback Aaron Colvin on Tuesday just a year into his four-year, $34 million contract, according to sources. Colvin will receive his $7.5 million in guarantees for this year. Colvin and the Texans secondary was torched by Drew Brees for 362 passing yards in the Monday night loss. While Houston's defensive line is a strength, their secondary continues to be an area of concern. Luckily for them they'll face a Jaguars team in Week 2 that was forced to go to quarterback Gardner Minshew in wake of Nick Foles' (collarbone) injury. As a result, Houston's D could have top-five fantasy potential in the good matchup this weekend.
Houston Texans cornerbacks Aaron Colvin (ankle) and Johnathan Joseph (ankle, knee) are both questionable for Week 9 against the Broncos but are considered long shots to play and are more likely to return following the Week 10 bye. That's good news for Broncos wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Courtland Sutton, who received a big boost in fantasy value this week when the team traded Demaryius Thomas to the Texans.
Houston Texans slot cornerback Aaron Colvin (ankle) will be out at least six weeks, according to a source. Houston's secondary wasn't very deep to begin with, so this could become a problem for them moving forward. Shareece Wright and Kayvon Webster should help fill in down the middle. This is good news for the Cowboys and their lackluster receiving corps on Sunday night.
Free-agent cornerback Aaron Colvin is set to go to the Houston Texans on a four-year deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Colvin played an important role as Jacksonville's slot corner last year, earning a positive grade from ProFootballFocus over 700 defensive snaps. It is a needed addition for the Texans, who were manhandled in the secondary last year. It is unclear if this ends Houston's pursuit of cornerback Malcolm Butler, who is also drawing interest from the Matt Patricia-coached Lions.
Jacksonville Jaguars impending free-agent cornerback Aaron Colvin is unlikely to return alongside Pro Bowl cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye. Colvin, a former fourth-round pick, was excellent as the team's nickel cornerback in 2017. Jacksonville has around $24 million in salary cap space, and wide receiver Allen Robinson is expected to take up a big chunk of that after quarterback Blake Bortles' $19 million fifth-year option. Colvin won't be a top-five corner on the open market, but he'll likely be able to receive a contract between $6-8 million per season. If Colvin goes elsewhere, he's proven he can be an every-down cornerback on the outside.
