RB Saquon Barkley to the Texans for a 2027 third-round pick, a 2027 sixth-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick and RB Woody Marks... The Texans are once again on pace to have a bottom-5 rushing attack, but Barkley has the talent behind the line of scrimmage to help cover for a shaky interior offensive line group.

Barkley to Texans could solve Houston's rushing woes and open up Nico Collins.

The source proposes a trade scenario where Barkley would go to the Texans for a 2027 third-round pick, 2027 sixth-round pick, 2028 second-round pick, and RB Woody Marks. The source notes that GM Nick Caserio, fresh off the Marvin Harrison Jr. deal, could double down on the offense by adding Barkley to a backfield that has yet to be solved in Houston. The Texans are on pace for a bottom-5 rushing attack, but Barkley has the talent to help cover for a shaky interior offensive line. By forcing opposing defenses to play heavier boxes with Barkley's presence, the 2-4 Texans could pull defensive attention away from receiver Nico Collins and field an offense worthy of a playoff comeback run.
