Texans to release veteran CB Terrance Mitchell

Terrance Mitchell‘s stint with the Texans has already come to an end. The Texans informed the veteran cornerback that he will be released, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The 29-year-old joined the Texans last offseason, inking a two-year, $7.5M deal. He started 13 of his 14 games during his lone season in Houston, collecting 60 tackles, 10 passes defended and one interception. He ended up seeing time in 69 percent of his team’s defensive snaps, and he garnered the second-most defensive snaps (796) on the squad.

Mitchell previously spent three seasons in Cleveland, starting 27 of his 39 games. He’s also had stints with the Bears, Cowboys and Chiefs. The Oregon product was a seventh-round pick by the Cowboys in 2014.

The defensive back was set to have a $3.4M cap hit in 2022. Thanks to an out in his contract, the Texans will be left with $250K in dead cap following Wednesday’s move.
