Texans agree to deal with DE Logan Hall, making offseason plans clear 

Hall recorded only 1.5 sacks last season, but registered a career-high 39 total tackles, with a couple being for a loss. He had 5.5 sacks in 2024. 

A second-round pick from the 2022 NFL Draft, Hall has recorded 101 total tackles, with 53 solo and 48 assisted, 23 quarterback hits and 10 sacks in 66 games played in four years. And to show his reliability, Hall has played in all but two possible games so far in his career. 

Adding Logan Hall emphasizes Texans' offseason plans  

Adding Hall furthers Texans general manager Nick Caserio's clear emphasis on the defensive line this offseason. Caserio has also retained defensive end Danielle Hunter, defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins and Naquan Jones while bringing in former Chicago Bears defensive end Dominique Robinson.  

And with questions surrounding quarterback C.J. Stroud after regressing in back-to-back seasons — he's thrown 20 interceptions in the past two seasons combined, following just five in his rookie year — the Texans seem to be operating under the belief that defense wins championships and bolstering that side of the ball will increase the overall team's chances at contending again. 

Despite a solid 12-5 regular season and a dominating win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC wild-card round, the Texans still finished behind the rival Jacksonville Jaguars for the AFC South title and then were eliminated by the eventual conference champion New England Patriots in the divisional round.
