Marc Vandermeer and John Harris preview Texans free agency, break down key pending free agents, and share Dalton Schultz's Radio Row take on C.J. Stroud and 2026.

Marc Vandermeer and John Harris return for the second offseason edition of Texans All-Access with a deep dive into the 2026 free agency landscape. The duo plays "Wow, He's a Free Agent?" — running through Houston's key pending free agents including Sheldon Rankins, Tim Settle, Foley Fatukasi, Derek Barnett, Denico Autry, Dare Ogunbowale, Nick Chubb, Christian Kirk, and Tommy Townsend.

The conversation also tackles the running back market, with names like Breece Hall, Travis Etienne, and Rico Dowdle on the table as potential fits alongside returning backs Joe Mixon and British Brooks. John makes a passionate case for bringing back Rankins as the emotional leader of the defensive line room, while the duo debates which veterans are must-keeps versus replaceable through the draft.

Miami releases Tyreek Hill and more. John Harris breaks down NFL cut candidates the Texans should target, plus Jalen Pitre joins Jonathan Joseph on No Audibles.

The show opens with an AFC South tour, starting with a Cameron Wolfe report that the Jacksonville Jaguars plan to use Travis Hunter as a full-time cornerback with only part-time receiver snaps in 2026 — vindicating what the hosts argued on draft night. They debate whether Jacksonville would have been better off staying at pick five for Mason Graham instead of trading up to two for Hunter. The Indianapolis Colts segment sparks a discussion about franchising Alec Pierce versus Daniel Jones, and the Tennessee Titans unveil a new logo amid Oilers-inspired uniform leaks that stir up Houston emotions all over again.

Then the big story breaks: the Miami Dolphins release Tyreek Hill, James Daniels, Bradley Chubb, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in a major roster purge. While Tyreek won't be a Texans target, the hosts pivot to The Athletic's list of one potential cap cut from every NFL team, running through over a dozen names with a Texans lens. Interior defensive linemen Broderick Washington (Ravens), A'Shawn Robinson (Panthers), and B.J. Hill (Bengals) get detailed evaluations, as do offensive linemen Elgton Jenkins (Packers), Ezra Cleveland (Jaguars), Mekhi Becton (Chargers), and Graham Glasgow (Lions). John breaks down which players fit the Texans' scheme, age profile, and budget.

The show closes with Jalen Pitre's feature interview on Jonathan Joseph's No Audibles podcast. Pitre reflects on being drafted, getting sent flying by Laremy Tunsil in his first practices, his role as a versatile nickel/safety weapon, his devastating hit on Rashee Rice, the guardian cap decision, leadership in the secondary, and giving back to his hometown of Stafford.
