The Houston Texans have made a strategic move by signing linebacker Nick Niemann to a two-year contract, further solidifying their defensive depth. At 27, Niemann, who previously played with the Los Angeles Chargers, is expected to contribute significantly on special teams, having logged over 1,200 snaps in this area during his four seasons in the league. With a core group of linebackers already in place, including Azeez Al-Shaair and Christian Harris, Niemann's role will likely center around special teams, where his experience is invaluable. This signing reflects Houston's commitment to enhancing its special teams, especially as they aim for a successful season ahead and seek to add playmakers to support their existing roster.
