The Houston Texans and the EJ Speed supporter have reached an agreement on a one -year agreement worth $ 5 million, the sources confirmed to ESPN on Saturday.
Speed, 29, gathered a productive season in his second year as a full -time starter for the Indianapolis Colts in 2024. He finished with 142 cups (12th in the NFL), 7 tacle for losses and 5 pass deviations. His 93 solo stops were tied in third place in the league. Speed also has six loose balls forced in his career.
Previously, an AS of special equipment after being selected in the fifth round of Tarleton State in 2019, Speed became a key member of the defense of the Colts and finally won the game time by former All-Pro Shaquille Leonard in 2023. He had only made six races when the Colts signed him to an extension of the two-year contract that entered 2023.
With 6 feet 4 and 227 pounds, the speed has a large length, and its speed and speed allow it to be constantly close to football. He has managed a great coverage responsibility in the Colts system.
Among the complicated factors in the evaluation of the Speed game is its lost rig rate. He was among the leaders of the league in tacle lost in 2024, which led to some great plays for the opponents.
Fox Sports first reported news of the firm.
