Texans Free Agency 2012: Arian Foster, Mario Williams On Clock

The Houston Texans are coming off the most successful season in franchise history. A 10-6 finish earned them the AFC Scouth Division title and their first-ever playoff berth. They also picked up their first playoff win by beating the Bengals in the Wild Card Round before falling to the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round.

For an encore, the Texans will want to do what they can to keep the pieces together. No piece is more important than running back Arian Foster, who is a restricted free agent. After him, a lot of pieces on the offensive line and defense need to be sorted into place.
