The Houston Texans' offense will look radically different in 2016.

Moments after reports broke that quarterback Brock Osweiler will sign with the team comes word free-agent running back Lamar Miller is planning to sign with Houston as well, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN, citing a league source.

It's a four-year, $26 million deal for Miller, with $14 million in guaranteed money, adds Schefter.

The 24-year-old wasn't expected to return to the Miami Dolphins, the team with whom he spent the first four years of his NFL career.

Miller stated it was his main goal in free agency to find a team willing to allow him to become a featured back. He will likely get that chance in Houston, after the team parted ways with Arian Foster this offseason.

Miller rushed four 872 yards and eight touchdowns in 2015.
