Did the Houston Texans miss out on Justin Simmons?

While the Houston Texans don’t have a glaring need for the Safety position, there’s still a need that must be filled soon. Recently, Bleacher Report brought up the idea of Justin Simmons signing with the Texans, and if Jalen Pitre moves into a Nickel role, that would’ve been a perfect addition to secure the secondary. However, Simmons signed with the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday and the Texans are left with more questions. So, did they miss out on Justin Simmons? Pitre has been learning a new position in training camp, and it’s sparked questions about who will fill his role next to Jimmie Ward. Houston just drafted Calen Bullock in the third round, but the team may be looking for a more experienced veteran to take his spot, and that’s where Justin Simmons would’ve come in. Adding Simmons to a secondary that already has Derek Stingley Jr, Jalen Pitre, and rookie Kamari Lassiter would’ve been the icing on the cake to take the Texans' defense over the top.  The Texans have $17.7M in cap space, according to Spotr
