Texans Insider Suggests Nico Collins Trade Possible, But One Rival Unlikely to Land Receiver

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins could be the subject of trade discussions, according to a report from Texans insider Josh Buckhalter of Heavy. The analysis indicates that while Houston might consider moving the Pro Bowl pass-catcher, at least one rival franchise would likely miss out even if a deal materializes.

Buckhalter's report, published Thursday, did not specify which team is positioned unfavorably in any potential pursuit of Collins. The 25-year-old receiver has emerged as one of the NFL's most productive wideouts since being drafted in the third round in 2021, posting back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2023 and 2024.

Collins is currently playing under the three-year, $72.75 million extension he signed with Houston in 2024, which includes $50 million guaranteed. His contract runs through the 2027 season, giving the Texans significant leverage in any trade negotiations.
