The Houston Texans are eyeing potential trades to bolster their defense and have identified Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt as an intriguing target. Recently, Pratt expressed his desire to be traded after a breakout season in 2024, where he recorded 143 tackles, two interceptions, and multiple forced fumbles. Though he’s not a Pro Bowler, his impressive tackling ability could significantly enhance the Texans' existing defensive lineup. While the Texans face salary cap constraints, restructuring contracts or making strategic cuts could allow them to pursue Pratt.
