Former first-round pick Vernon Hargreaves will again be looking for a new NFL home, as the cornerback had been released by the , the team announced on Friday. The former University of Florida star was originally drafted by Reid Ferguson Jersey the with the No. 11 pick in the 2016 , but things went downhill in 2019.Hargreaves was named to the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team in 2016 after he recorded 76 combined tackles, nine pa ses defensed and one interception in 16 games played, but injuries landed him on injured reserve the following two seasons. He played in nine games for the Buccaneers in 2019, recording 40 combined tackles, four pa ses defensed and one pick- Tre'Davious White Jersey six, after Tampa Bay's Week 10 win over the .Early last offseason, Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians held Hargreaves out of practice because he believed the corner was not prepared, and then reprimanded Hargreaves again in Week 10 against Marquez Stevenson Jersey the Cardinals. Arians told reporters it didn't look like he hustled to make a tackle. Hargreaves didn't refute Arians' claim, per .com, saying after the game "there's no arguing it" and promising more hustle, as well as having a meeting with Arians to straighten things out. Evidently, things weren't straightened out.The Texans claimed Hargreaves off waivers the very next day, and he ended up recording 21 combined Andre Reed Jersey tackles and two pa ses defensed in six games for Bill O'Brien. He also started Houston's two playoff games, and recorded nine combined tackles and one pa s defensed. With the release, the Texans avoid paying Hargreaves' $10 million fifth-year option in 2020. If O'Brien was happy with his play over the second half of Baylon Spector Jersey the season, it's po sible the corner could find himself back in Houston on a more team-friendly deal.
