The Houston Texans have cast a wide ranging net in hopes of finding a suitable replacement at wide receiver for Andre Johnson.
John McClain of the Houston Chronicle believes Houston will target Maclin and a host of others at the position.

“Texans making run at WR Randall Cobb and Jeremy Maclin to replace Andre Johnson. Expect them to target Torrey Smith, too.”
Maclin isn’t officially a free agent until Tuesday, but the Texans are allowed to contact his agent due to the NFL’s “legal tampering” period.
