Update:

The primary reason for Brown’s release appears to be the Texans’ crowded wide receiver room. The addition of star receiver Stefon Diggs has significantly impacted the team, making it challenging for Brown to secure a spot. The Texans are looking to have a mix of veteran presence and young talent, and unfortunately, Brown became a casualty of these adjustments.

His performance last season demonstrated his capability to contribute significantly to an offense, making him an attractive option for other teams in need of a dependable receiver. Last season, Noah Brown had 33 receptions for 567 yards and 2 touchdowns, with an average of 17.2 yards per reception and a longest reception of 75 yards.

What are Noah Brown possible destinations?

Speculation about where Brown might land next are already going around. One potential destination is the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are actively looking to bolster their wide receiver corps, and Brown’s experience and versatility could make him a perfect fit.

Another team that could benefit from Brown’s services is the New England Patriots. The Patriots might see Brown as a valuable addition to their receiving unit, especially given their recent struggles in the passing game since Tom Brady left te team.

For fans it might seems like a mistake to let him go. He certainly proved his value on the field. Sometimes, roster decisions can be surprising and driven by various factors like team strategy, salary cap considerations, and the depth of talent in certain positions.
