The Houston Texans are exploring potential roster changes ahead of their mandatory minicamp. Recently, they worked out Damon Arnette, a former first-round cornerback from the Las Vegas Raiders, who is trying to revitalize his career after a tumultuous start. With the retirement of Ronald Darby, the Texans are looking for depth in their secondary behind All-Pro Derek Stingley Jr. and rookie Kamari Lassiter. Arnette, who played for the Houston Roughnecks in the United Football League last season, recorded impressive numbers, including 18 tackles and an interception. He expressed that he has grown professionally and is eager to contribute.

Coach DeMeco Ryans has indicated that Arnette is one of several options being considered to fill the vacant cornerback slot, following last season's struggles where Jeff Okudah primarily took on that role. If Arnette can demonstrate discipline and improvement, he could secure a spot on the Texans' roster, adding valuable experience and skill to their defensive backfield.

Ronald Darby, the former Buffalo Bills cornerback, has announced his retirement from the NFL at age 31 after a successful ten-season career. A second-round pick in 2015, Darby quickly made an impact, earning a second-place finish in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting. Known for his skills in a man-heavy defense under Rex Ryan, he became a key player for the Bills, starting in 29 games and recording two interceptions in his first two seasons. However, with a coaching change in 2017, he was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he continued to contribute to defensive schemes.

Darby’s career highlights include intercepting four-time Pro Bowler Andrew Luck during his first NFL game and being part of a formidable Eagles defense that helped win Super Bowl LII. His journey serves as an inspiration for aspiring athletes and a reminder of the ever-changing dynamics in the NFL.

Ronald Darby, a cornerback who signed with the Houston Texans earlier this offseason, plans to retire at just 31 years old, sending shockwaves through the organization. Having signed a one-year deal worth $2.5 million in March, Darby participated in the Texans' initial practices but has now chosen to step away from the game.

This former second-round pick out of Florida State enjoyed a decade-long career, playing for six teams, including a Super Bowl championship with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017.

Cam Robinson, a former Jacksonville Jaguars player, has signed a one-year deal valued up to $14.5 million with the Houston Texans. This move comes alongside cornerback Ronald Darby, who also joined the Texans, expanding a series of transactions between these two AFC South rivals. The Jaguars previously traded wide receiver Christian Kirk to Houston while acquiring safety Eric Murray from the Texans.

Robinson, originally drafted in the second round by the Jaguars in 2017, had spent his entire career in Jacksonville before being traded to the Minnesota Vikings during the last season. Now, he is expected to step into a starting left tackle role for the Texans, especially after the recent trade of Laremy Tunsil.

Ronald Darby and Jacob Martin, both former Denver Broncos defenders, have found new teams in the NFL. Darby, who played in Denver from 2021 to 2022 and signed a three-year, $30 million contract back then, has joined the Houston Texans on a one-year deal. After a strong tenure with the Broncos, where he recorded 67 tackles and 9 pass breakups in 16 games during his first season, Darby's second season ended prematurely due to an ACL injury.

Martin, previously acquired by Denver through a trade with the New York Jets, is now signed with the Washington Commanders for one year as well. Martin was part of the Broncos' plans after acquiring him in exchange for a fourth-round pick, though his contributions were limited. During his time in Denver, he made only six tackles and one sack in five games. Both players are looking to revitalize their careers in their new environments.
