Texans general manager Nick Caserio dismissed rumors about Nico Collins' potential trade, stating that the team is not planning to trade him. This follows reports that teams were interested in signing Collins, who is set to make $20.875 million next season on a deal signed in 2024, making him the 18th-highest paid player at the position. This may require a new contract for Collins. This is not the first time Caseria has dismissed rumors regarding Collins' availability. The Texans have not yet made a pick at wide receiver through the two days of the 2026 NFL Draft.
