Report: Roby returns to Texans on 3-year, $36M deal

The Houston Texans and cornerback Bradley Roby agreed to a three-year contract worth up to $36 million, according to Aaron Reiss of The Athletic.

The deal includes about $17 million guaranteed, sources told the Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson.

Roby emerged as the top cornerback in Houston last season after joining the team from the Denver Broncos on a one-year deal. He broke up eight passes and had two interceptions over 10 games in the regular season, and added a pair of pass breakups in the postseason.

The Texans struggled in the secondary a season ago, and could continue to prioritize the back end of their defense in free agency. Houston could lose Johnathan Joseph to the open market and has already cut ties with Vernon Hargreaves.
