by John OehserFiled under: Texans, AFC SouthThe Houston Texans tried to make a trade Tuesday. They didn't, and instead released offensive tackle Ephraim Salaam and outside linebacker David Nixon. These were moves that helped clear a roster spot for offensive tackle Duane Brown, who is returning from an NFL-mandated four-game suspension. The Texans were trying to trade to help a struggling defense, but John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reported that "asking prices were too high." Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
