Following a standout collegiate career with the Cougars, Logan Hall is heading back to Houston. The free agent defensive end is joining the Texans, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
It’s a two-year deal for Hall, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The defensive lineman will earn around $7MM per season.
The Houston product earned first-team All-AAC honors in 2021 after finishing with six sacks and 13 tackles for loss, leading to him being selected by the Buccaneers in the second round of the 2022 draft. The defensive lineman ended up starting 39 of his 66 appearances in Tampa Bay, although he never got into more than 60 percent of the team’s defensive snaps in any of his four seasons.
Following a 5.5-sack showing in 2024, Hall was limited to 1.5 sacks in 2025 despite starting a career-high 16 games. Pro Football Focus has generally graded him as a middle-of-the-road interior defender, although they ranked him 40th among 127 qualifiers this past year.
Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson will continue to command snaps at defensive end, but Hall should be a more-than-serviceable option behind that duo. Derek Barnett is currently unsigned after garnering 388 snaps at the position in 2025. The Texans previously added some DE depth in Dominique Robinson.
