A low-risk future deal addition with minimal immediate impact for Houston. Headlines confirm Kelly was recently cut by Dallas, signaling his roster ceiling. Being added to the practice squad suggests the Texans value developmental depth at receiver. Fans will barely notice this move, as Kelly carries no real fantasy or roster relevance. Kelly faces long odds making the 53-man roster but could stick on the practice squad.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Houston Texans — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Josh's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL WRs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $885K average annual value ranks as bargain money for the WR market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Josh is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
