Martin, a former player for the Denver Broncos, joins the Texans after a trade with the New York Jets last year. Although his time with the Broncos was cut short by a knee injury, Martin showcased his skills during his limited appearances, recording 14 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and a forced fumble.

The 27-year-old pass rusher, known for his potential as a situational player, enters the Texans' roster with a career tally of 16 sacks. His addition provides much-needed depth and experience to Houston's edge defenders.
