Houston Texans to Release Arian Foster

According to ESPN, The Houston Texans have basically told Running Back Arian Foster that they will be releasing him from his contract.

It shouldn't come as a surprise. Ever since he was the top rusher in the NFL a few seasons ago his career has been plagued with injury after injury often times sidelining him for months at a time.

No word yet on Foster's response (if any) or where he might end up. Does it come as a shock? It really shouldn't. The Texans are trying to build a playoff worthy team and not just a team that squeaks by because of the division they're in.

Draft day is around the corner so let's see if they get a decent back for cheap. The quarterback situation is still a hot mess and there have been rumors of the Texans possibly trading for Niners QB Colin Kaepernik...we'll see how it all plays out over the next few weeks.

Stay tuned.
