Sources: Texans add LB Speed from rival Colts
Briefly

linebacker E.J. Speed has signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Houston Texans. After a productive season with the Indianapolis Colts, where he recorded 142 tackles and had strong defensive stats, Speed emerged from a role as a special teams player to become a crucial part of the Colts' defense. Despite his success, he has faced challenges, such as a high missed tackle rate. Speed's size and skills position him well for continued impact at the linebacker position.
Speed grew into a key member of the Colts' defense and ultimately earning playing time over injured former All-Pro Shaquille Leonard in 2023.
At 6-foot-4 and 227 pounds, Speed has great length, and his speed and quickness allow him to consistently be near the football.
