Jordan Jenkins, Texans agree to two-year deal worth up to $8 million

The Houston Texans continued to pile up free agents on Saturday.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Texans have signed linebacker Jordan Jenkins to a two-year deal worth up to $8 million. 

Jenkins spent his first five seasons in the NFL with the New York Jets. He had 15 sacks, 67 tackles and 28 quarterback hits over the 2018 and 2019 seasons. He had just two sacks in 2020. 

The Texans have added nearly 30 players via free agency and trades this offseason as the franchise looks to improve following a disappointing 2020 campaign.
