After five seasons with the Denver Broncos, Bradley Roby is set to continue his NFL career with a new team.
NFL Network's James Palmer reported Tuesday that Roby, who played at Ohio State from 2010-13, has agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract with the Houston Texans.
While the NFL's free agency negotiation period began Monday, Roby's deal with the Texans cannot become official until Wednesday, when the new league year begins.
In five seasons with the Broncos, Roby appeared in 79 games with 29 starts, recording 236 total tackles, 60 pass deflections, seven interceptions, seven forced fumbles, three sacks and two defensive touchdowns. He started a career-high 15 games for the Broncos, serving as their No. 2 cornerback.
The Broncos opted to part ways with Roby in free agency this year, however, agreeing to a
three-year, $33 million contract with Kareem Jackson – who played for the Texans last year – to replace him at cornerback.
Now, Roby is likely in line to be the Texans' No. 2 cornerback in 2019 opposite Johnathan Joseph.
Other teams that showed interest in Roby included the Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders,
according to Palmer, but ultimately, he chose to join the Texans.
