Free agency begins in nine days.
The Texans, and the rest of the NFL, can begin signing free agents at 3 p.m. on March 14.
It's the first day of the new league year, which entails a few different things.
General manager Brian Gaine has said a few different times that the Texans will explore all avenues to improve the club. There's a good bet they'll make some signings in nine days.
Gaine and company are in Indianapolis wrapping up evaluations at the Combine, and will soon return to Houston to continue draft preparations and much more.
