Texans explore trades for wide receivers, including Rashod Bateman

Summary

The Houston Texans are actively seeking to enhance their wide receiver corps after Jayden Higgins suffered a torn ACL. They have inquired about several players, Baltimore Ravens' Rashod Bateman and New England Patriots' Kayshon Boutte. While no trade deal is imminent, there is potential for an offer to be made. Bateman, a former first-round pick, has had varied success with the Ravens, recording a career-low 19 receptions last season but showing promise with a career-high 756 yards in 2024. The Texans are in need of a solid No. 2 receiver to partner with Nico Collins as they work to improve their offense.
