The Houston Texans are still trying to find a taker for quarterback Matt Schaub and are believed to be taking a quarterback with the first overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, but the first addition at the position could come in the form of Mark Sanchez.

Sanchez has yet to be released from the Jets despite many believing he has no future with the Jets after the team drafted Geno Smith in the second round last year and his bouts with injury and prolonged stretches of ineffectiveness.

It seems inevitable that Sanchez will be released before he is due any roster bonuses later and when he does hit the streets, expect the Texans to bring him in to compete for the starting job, even if the team drafts a quarterback in the draft in May, at least initially.
