Who Should I Start? Braxton Berrios or Tyrell Shavers

Monday, March 10, 5:02 PM

Former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios (knee) agreed to a one-year, $2 million deal with the Houston Texans on Monday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal was negotiated by agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey. Berrios heads to the AFC South division after suffering a torn left ACL in Week 7 of last year. When the 29-year-old pass-catcher is back to full health, he figures to give the Texans additional receiver depth behind Nico Collins and Christian Kirk (collarbone) with Tank Dell (knee) potentially missing all of the 2025 season. At best, though, Berrios will likely be limited in his playing time as a role player on offense while mostly contributing as a kick returner on special teams. The former sixth-round pick by the New England Patriots in 2018 out of the University of Miami had his best season in 2021 with the Jets, catching 46 of 65 passes for 431 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games (one start).

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers finished with the team's only touchdown reception in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. With the Bills leading 7-3 late in the second quarter, Shavers made a spectacular one-handed catch in the end zone for an 11-yard score. That was one of two grabs for Shavers, who totaled 24 yards on three targets. Shavers' impact went beyond the box score, as he also drew a pair of defensive holding penalties that led to first downs for the Bills. The former undrafted free agent from San Diego State, who has been fighting for a place near the back of the Bills' receiver depth chart this summer, made his presence felt in all three of the team's exhibition games. Shavers led the Bills with 120 yards on six receptions in the preseason, and now he's left to hope that production will help him earn a roster spot.
