The Houston Texans are reportedly keeping another key piece in the building for next season.
Per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network: “QBs coach Jerrod Johnson has informed teams interested in hiring him as an OC that he plans to return to Houston. A big development for the Texans, as Johnson wants to finish what he started with CJ Stroud, DeMeco Ryans, OC Bobby Slowik and the organization.”
Slowik had decided earlier in the day to remain with the Texans after interviewing for multiple head coaching vacancies.

Fans were excited by Tuesday’s news.
“I wouldn’t be in a rush to leave CJ Stroud either,” said Mike Golic Jr. “stick around and potentially move into the OC spot in Houston if Slowik ends up taking a HC job next year.”

The Texans have a great thing going heading into 2024. They figure to once again be right in the mix in the AFC South.
