"Linebacker is one of the Texans' strongest positions.
When a team utilizes a 3-4 defense as the Texans do, it can never have enough linebackers, especially those who play outside.
The biggest question facing the Texans this offseason involves an outside linebacker. Will they be able to re-sign Mario Williams, who had five sacks in five games before suffering a season-ending injury?
Williams' six-year, $54 million contract expires in March. The Texans say re-signing him is a priority. He says he wants to stay. But there's one problem: They will have little salary-cap room to re-sign and sign players."
