Houston Texans release DE Darrell Taylor

Sentiment Analysis

A questionable depth cut, releasing Taylor right before a Wild Card game hurts the edge rotation. Five headlines covered the move, with reporters noting his quick landing in New England. The key red flag: cutting a veteran pass rusher immediately before playoff football is poor roster management. Fans are frustrated that Taylor suited up elsewhere against playoff competition almost immediately. Houston must now lean heavily on remaining edge options with the postseason already underway.
