Texans target Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman for trade
Summary

The Houston Texans are exploring a trade for Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman, who signed a $36.75 million contract this offseason. Following the season-ending ACL injury to Jayden Higgins, the Texans are considering various targets, including Bateman. Although interest has been reported, the Ravens may be hesitant to trade Bateman due to depth concerns at the position after drafting two wide receivers this offseason. A potential deal could free up significant cap space for Baltimore in the coming years, but it may not be feasible without adding another wide receiver first.
