The Texans have done a solid job of acquiring pieces this off-season, with Cannon being a prime example. The latter opted not to play in 2020, so he should be fresh and ready to go for his new team in '21. Expect Cannon to play right tackle for Houston.

The Patriots acquired Trent Brown from Las Vegas in a separate deal, which made Cannon expendable. So, they did well to get something for him instead of outright releasing him. Both New England and Houston got what they needed here.

Houston's offense may be better with Cannon, but the elephant in the room for the Texans remains the situation revolving around franchise quarterback Deshaun Watson.
