The Houston Texans aim to strengthen their roster ahead of the 2025 NFL season and made the final decision to bolster their offense with a veteran player who won a Super Bowl alongside Tom Brady with the New England Patriots. Starting quarterback CJ Stroud will now have an experienced addition by his side.
Having shared a roster with a legendary superstar like Brady is something only a few can say. In Houston, they know that experience could translate into valuable contributions for a team that needs to grow to make a strong push and compete deeper into the next season.
Stroud was crucial for the Texans in 2024, and it’s expected that in 2025 he will overcome some of the inconsistencies seen in his performance. In his second season as a pro, he faced the challenges of leading the offense following injuries to Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell. Now, being surrounded by the experience of a former champion could be beneficial.
Former Super Bowl champion coming to the Texans
The Super Bowl champion alongside Tom Brady and the Patriots who reached an agreement with the Texans is none other than veteran offensive tackle Trent Brown. The success of the negotiations was reported by his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, who revealed that the deal is worth up to $3 million.
In addition to showcasing his credentials as a former league champion, Brown also crossed paths with Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley during his time in New England. The 31-year-old veteran will face a competition for a starting spot with offensive tackle Blake Fisher. Brown aims to earn more playing time after suffering a patellar tendon tear last season, which significantly limited his time with the Cincinnati Bengals.
When did Brown win the Super Bowl?
Trent Brown won Super Bowl LIII in 2019 when the New England Patriots, led by star quarterback Brady, defeated the Los Angeles Rams. The veteran offensive tackle played in that 13-3 victory, where head coach Bill Belichick’s team secured its sixth ring.
