Texans Rework Nico Collins' Contract, Clear $9.8 Million In Cap Space

Wednesday, March 5, 11:10 AM

The Houston Texans restructured the contract of star wide receiver Nico Collins, clearing $9.8 million in salary cap space for 2025. According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, it was a simple restructure. Last offseason, Collins signed a three-year, $72.75 million contract extension with Houston following a 1,297-yard receiving season. The former Michigan Wolverine posted 1,006 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in just 12 games in 2024. With Stefon Diggs likely out of Houston entering next season, Collins is poised for another strong year as quarterback C.J. Stroud's No. 1 wide receiver.

Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice Heavily Targeted on Tuesday

Tuesday, July 22, 1:31 PM

ESPN's Nate Taylor reports that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was the biggest winner of Tuesday's training camp practice and was the most-targeted receiver for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports reported that Rice was most active working across the middle of the field on crossing routes and in the red zone. The 25-year-old is returning from an LCL tear that he suffered last year, but he's a full-go at camp this summer and should be a huge part of KC's passing attack in 2025. With that said, his fantasy stock has taken a hit this year because of the fact that the NFL is expected to suspend him for three or four games after a hit-and-run incident. Even though a suspension is probably coming, Rice could make quite a bit of noise in 2025 now that he's healthy. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the WR26.
