Texans’ Davis Mills faces odd apathy from QB-needy teams near the trade deadline

Toro Times writer Clayton Anderson argues that it is surprising Houston Texans backup quarterback Davis Mills has received virtually no trade interest from quarterback-needy teams ahead of the NFL trade deadline. While acknowledging that Houston is not actively shopping Mills, Anderson notes that other franchises have actively made moves for quarterback depth, including the Baltimore Ravens trading with the Arizona Cardinals for Jacoby Brissett.

Anderson highlights Mills as a dependable six-year veteran who previously guided the Texans through a 3-0 winning streak to help clinch a playoff berth. Although the writer notes Houston has little incentive to trade away a reliable backup, he views the complete lack of inquiries from other NFL teams as an unusual development.
