The Texans might not be done shopping for wide receivers. The Texans have called about Patriots receiver Phillip Dorsett, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic (on Twitter).

Time is ticking on the trade deadline clock, and Howe hears that there hasn’t been much progress on the Dorsett trade front. But, as we saw last year, teams are often willing to up the ante as the 4pm ET/3pm CT deadline approaches.
The Texans acquired Demaryius Thomas from the Broncos on Tuesday, giving them an experienced receiver to carry the load in the wake of Will Fuller‘s season-ending injury. That deal alone could be a big difference maker for Houston, but the Texans are unwilling to take chances after injuries ruined their playoff aspirations last year.
Dorsett, 25, has just 20 catches for 198 yards and two touchdowns this season. The Patriots are on the lookout for wide receiver help themselves, and they could free up a roster spot for a new pass catcher by dealing the Miami product.
It seems like Belichick is no longer successful at low balling FA’s and playing trade deadline chicken with other GM’s, so that Pats’ cupboard might be empty for awhile.
Considering NE got arguably the most talented WR on the trade market this season for the highest? Lowest? Round draft pick Idk which way you say it, idk what you are talking about.
You’re absolutely right so we should change his name to ‘Trader Bill’ because he makes out on these deals like Garapolo, Jones, and Collins like a bandit!
The Collins deal was fine, the Jones deal was fair if they didn’t want to pay him, which is re more questionable call, and the Garoppolo trade I thought was bad. The Gordon trade was fantastic.
Did you forget about Gordon?
