Clabo gets a 2-year deal with the #Texans. He also visited the Cardinals. Cardinals offered a deal, but 2 sides couldn't agree on $$.

Tyson Clabo is a nice add for the Texans. Disastrous start w Dolphins last yr, but rebounded well in the 2nd half.

Tyson Clabo's 2013 season: First 6 games: 8 sacks allowed, -14.5 @PFF grade. Last 9 games: 3 sacks allowed, +9.0 grade

It stood to reason the Texans would make a move to address their depth at tackle in the wake of Brennan Williams' release. While Derek Newton is still the starter at RT, it remains to be seen whether Clabo will push Newton for the starting gig or simply serve as a swing tackle, backing up both Newton and Duane Brown.

Your reaction, BRB?
