Texans have strong interest in Earl Thomas
The Houston Texans took a big hit to their secondary on Monday, but they may have a more than sufficient backup plan.
According to Houston Chronicle reporter Aaron Wilson, the Texans are strongly considering signing Earl Thomas.

The Texans wanted to keep Tyrann Mathieu, but the Chiefs were willing to pay him more. Houston is also expecting to lose Kareem Jackson to the Broncos.
Thomas turns 30 in May and is coming off a leg injury that ended his season early last year. Prior to his injury, he was playing great ball for the Seahawks.
