The Houston Texans have reached a two-year, $16 million contract agreement with three-time Pro Bowl guard Wyatt Teller. The deal can be worth up to $23 million with incentives. Teller, 31, started 13 games for the Cleveland Browns last season and has started 101 of 109 games in his 7-year NFL career.

Why it matters
