A low-risk depth move that adds a former Buccaneers safety to Houston's secondary. Multiple headlines confirm this as a practice squad or future contract signing, not a roster elevation. The strongest signal is his Tampa Bay pedigree, suggesting some NFL pedigree worth developing. Fans are mildly intrigued, asking whether Merriweather can crack the 53-man roster in 2025. Expect him to compete for a depth role, but a practice squad stay is the most likely outcome.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Houston Texans — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Kaevon's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DB 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. Kaevon is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
