Texans Add Former Giants FB Jakob Johnson for 2025 Season
The Houston Texans are adding a fullback to their roster for the upcoming 2025 season. According to multiple sources, the Texans have signed free agent Jakob Johnson to a one-year deal.
Johnson, who last played for the New York Giants in 2024, previously spent two years with the Las Vegas Raiders (2022-2023) and three seasons with the New England Patriots (2019-2021).
The 30-year-old fullback brings some familiarity with the Texans’ new offensive coordinator, Nick Caley, having worked together in New England during Caley’s tenure as tight ends and fullbacks coach.

Johnson’s 2024 season with the Giants was limited, as he was frequently moved between the practice squad and active roster, appearing in just three regular-season games. His most productive years came in New England, where he had his best seasons since entering the league as an undrafted free agent.
Now entering his seventh NFL season, Johnson will join Houston’s backfield as a versatile option, with hopes of securing a spot on the team’s 53-man roster for 2025.
