The Houston Texans are signing CB C.J. Henderson, according to Jeremy Fowler.
Henderson, 25, was selected with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Jaguars. He signed a four-year, $20,516,020 rookie contract that includes a $12,480,742 signing bonus. The contract included a fifth-year option for the 2024 season.
However, the Jaguars traded him to the Panthers in September of his second season and Carolina declined his fifth-year option last offseason.
In 2023, Henderson appeared in 12 games for the Panthers and recorded 39 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, and two pass defenses.
