The Houston Texans have signed safety Adrian Amos after he was released by the New York Jets, according to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report.
Texans address secondary depth by signing Adrian Amos
Adrian Amos, 30, was waived last week by the Jets. Amos played in 11 games for the Jets, but only started in 3. Amos has recorded 23 tackles and one pass deflection so far this season.
It's good timing for the Texans, who could use some help in the secondary and get a good read on what the Jets try to do defensively. The Texans are in the playoff hunt and every game counts at this point, and getting a veteran defensive quarterback like Amos to give the offense any hints or clues should certainly help as Houston prepares for the Week 14 battle with the Jets.
Amos will now be on his fourth team, having played four seasons with the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers prior to his brief stint with the Jets. Amos has 10 career interceptions and was named to the Pro Football Focus first team for safeties in 2017 and 2020. The former Penn State defender's playoff experience with the Packers should come in handy for a young Texans defense that is looking to scrap their way into the postseason behind the play of rookies CJ Stroud and Will Anderson Jr.
We'll see how much Amos plays in Week 14 with little time to prepare, but given he's playing against his former team, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Amos take the field and make an impact on the game.
