The Texans have released cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III (Twitter link via NFL.com’s James Palmer). As a post-deadline cut, he’ll go on the waiver wire and made available to the rest of the league’s teams. If he goes unclaimed after 24 hours, he’ll be a full-fledged free agent. 
Hargreaves started in five games for the Texans this year and played in nearly every snap on Sunday against the Colts. Of course, that wasn’t a banner game for the Texans — they lost 31-3 while Jonathan Taylor torched the front seven for 145 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
Houston claimed Hargreaves off waivers from the Tampa last year, a low-risk move to improve their secondary. He went on to start in all 16 of his games while registering 72 stops, seven passes defensed, and one interception. The advanced metrics weren’t fond of his work — Pro Football Focus ranked him near the bottom at cornerback, out of 126 qualified NFL corners. Still, the Texans re-upped the former first-round pick on a one-year, $1.325MM deal.
Cutting Hargreaves won’t have much of an impact on the Texans’ cap, especially if another team scoops him up between now and Thursday afternoon.
Seahawks baby what it do!?
What!? Hell no, Seattle doesn’t want/need this dude.
Did you reply to your own post?
Had to do a double-take, someone forgot to switch to the burner lol
Yeah I did… Sometimes I talk to myself.
It’s OK I made up a player a few days ago.
HAHAAHAHHAHAHA that’s just funny!
“Hargreaves started in five games for the Texans this year and played in nearly every snap on Sunday against the Colts.”
The Texans played the Colts on Sunday, true. Sunday, October 17th. Either my man Zach Links has been on a two week bender or he wrote this two weeks ago and has mad clairvoyance skills and eerily predicted Hargreaves’s release. Either way, I’m terrified.
If a team this bad waives someone…..WHY would anyone else want him? Should tell you all you need to know. Sometimes a player is just done… not that he’s a bad person but his playing days are over.
