NFL insider reveals Texans' ex-Browns Pro Bowl OL could be trade candidate

The Houston Texans have had an offensive line problem for a few years now, and typically, if there's a move associated with the Texans and a lineman, it's about the team adding help up front.

But the Texans aren't afraid of trading from their NFL roster either. They sent a lineman to the Detroit Lions in the David Montgomery trade, and also shipped off Laremy Tunsil not too long ago. This Fall, by the NFL trade deadline, they could do it again.

ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano revealed that three-time Pro Bowl offensive guard Wyatt Teller, formerly with the Cleveland Browns , could be a trade candidate for the Texans this Fall.

Texans' Wyatt Teller tabbed as trade candidate

"A couple of other 2026 free agent signings who stand out as potentially available due to their situations not working out include Texans offensive lineman Wyatt Teller and Eagles cornerback Riq Woolen," Graziano writes.

For a team that's struggled with offensive line play the last two seasons, it might seem odd for them to trade a veteran lineman who's a former Pro Bowler.

But with the Texans getting solid play out of Ed Ingram and Keylan Rutledge, Teller has become a bit more expendable than he was before the start of the year.

The 6-foot-4, 315-pound offensive guard is sure to have some suitors interested, as he's a decent veteran and could be a decent starter for a team desperate for OL help.

Houston isn't going to sell him for cheap, however, as their offensive line issues likely won't make them so easily convinced to give up on Teller this season.

But if a contender comes with the right offer, Graziano isn't ruling out a trade of Teller this Fall. It might not be likely, but it does appear that Teller is a name to monitor by the 2026 NFL trade deadline this November.
