The Best and Worst NFL Decisions Made Since the 2019 NFL Draft Ended

Best: Texans Add Jahleel Addae

2 OF 7



Carolyn Kaster/Associated Press
The Houston Texans added former Los Angeles Chargers safety Jahleel Addae in early May, and the six-year veteran should provide a nice boost to the Texans secondary. He started all 32 games for the Chargers over the last two seasons, is solid in coverage and is a tremendous tackler.

In 2018, Addae produced 75 tackles, three passes defended, a sack and an interception.

While Addae will likely back up Justin Reid and Tashaun Gipson in base formations, he's a guy Houston can utilize in three-safety sets or in the slot. As a quality tackler, Addae can also play as an extra defender in the box in short-yardage situations.

Along with fellow Texans newcomer Gipson, Addae is a player the Texans can get excited about.

"I think both of those guys bring two meaningful additions to this team," cornerback Johnathan Joseph said, per Anthony R Wood of Texans Wire. "They bring attitude, bring toughness, they both lead by example. They show up to work each and every day."

Addae was one of the best--and most versatile--defenders still on the open market after the draft, and the Texans were smart to scoop him up.

Clearly that writer was high when he wrote that.

If Addae was such a great signing he wouldn't been out there so long. He was a decent FS who was more dangerous running into his own guys. He will be better if they use him in the box though but. . ............
Solid cover guy? :facepalm1:

FFS... The Texans best move was to pick up a guy the writer sees as their 3rd safety?

And LMFBO at the "solid in coverage" and tremendous tackler" comments. This writer is clearly unaware of Addae's game.

Well it's the Bleacher Report. Lot of amatuers on there who think they are relevant writers.

3rd S will be on the feild more than the 4th LB will. Addae will be on the field a lot, essentially the 11th starter. He is basically another LB for them. And he is going to be a lot better off, down in the box, rather than being forced to play off the ball, trying to react to the ball in the air.

I agree with you. However, signing Addae does not make the Texans one of the league wide winners in FA, is all I'm saying.

[Formula 21]

Addai was a decent SS, not a great one but he did his job. And he played out of position last year at FS. He took one for the team because they didn't have anyone else.

I think he'll do better in Houston when he's back at SS.

HUGE question marks remain on HOU Oline.

Even Watson started to look not so hot.
There was a terrible playoff game.
Indy's gonna leave them all in the dust.

I've heard that no team has a worse OL than the Chargers...and we made it to Div rd playoffs.
Addae joins one of the best, possibly The Best front 7 in the NFL.
Hou can compete.

Well.....they won a lot of tight games and came from behind a lot. That usually sees mean reversion.
