Source: Ex-Saints TE Foster Moreau to sign with Texans

The Houston Texans have agreed to a contract with free agent tight end Foster Moreau, according to NFL Network.
The move adds depth to the Texans’ tight end room, which features Dalton Schultz as the starter.
Moreau, 28, played in 11 games for the New Orleans Saints in 2025 after starting the season on the physically unable to perform list. Moreau was coming off a knee injury that occurred in the 2024 season finale. He caught seven passes for 59 yards last season and missed the final two games of the season due to an ankle injury that was not considered a long-term issue.
The Saints added veteran tight end Noah Fant in the free agent negotiating period.
Moreau has spent the last three seasons in New Orleans after signing with them as a free agent in 2023. He spent the first four seasons of his career with the Raiders, who selected him out of LSU in the fourth round of the 2019 draft. He tied a career-high of five receiving touchdowns in 2024 prior to his injury.
He briefly stepped away from football in the spring of 2023 after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma following a physical on a visit with the Saints. He announced that his cancer was in full remission in July 2023.
He has played in 104 games and has caught 151 passes for 1,722 yards and 18 touchdowns in seven seasons.
