Justin Britt Fantasy

The Houston Texans agreed to terms with offensive lineman Justin Britt and A.J. Cann on Monday, according to a source. Britt was signed for two years and $9 million. The 30-year-old former second-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks spent the first six seasons of his career in Seattle before sitting out in 2020. He played in 11 games for the Texans last year while dealing with a knee injury. Britt will be the team's projected starting center in 2022. Cann is joining the team on a two-year, $10.5 million deal. Also 30, Cann played the first seven seasons of his career for the Jacksonville Jaguars, primarily playing right guard. Both Britt and Cann are hoping to improve Houston's offensive line next season and beyond.

Houston Texans center Justin Britt (knee) is expected to be able to play against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13. Britt was designated for return from injured reserve last week after being sidelined by a hyperextended knee. The starting center for Houston was replaced in the lineup by rookie Jimmy Morrissey, who will now return to a reserve role. Britt's return will be a boost for the Houston offensive line and the running game. Right tackle Charlie Heck told reporters, "He kind of brings a consistency to the o-line, having that veteran in the middle. That's been great for us this week." The Texans will look to pick up their third win as they host the Colts in Week 13.

The Seattle Seahawks are prepared to release center Justin Britt, a move that would save them around $8.5 million in salary cap space. Guard D.J. Fluker announced he was released on Sunday, a move that saves around $3.6 million. Britt missed the last eight games of 2019 with a torn ACL. With him on his way out, it'll be either B.J. Finney or Joey Hunt starting at center in 2020. Fluker, a former first-rounder of the Chargers in 2013, has battled injuries for most of his career. Seattle has plenty of options at guard moving forward, and it sure looks like they might make a run at re-signing defensive end Jadeveon Clowney with the money they save with these two cuts.
