Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio has made it clear that wide receiver Nico Collins is not available for trade, countering recent rumors. Caserio stated, "We're not trading Nico Collins," emphasizing the Texans' commitment to their Pro Bowl wideout. Collins, who signed a three-year, $72 million extension in 2024, is currently due to make $20,875,005 in 2025. Since signing, the wide receiver market has significantly increased, with players like Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase signing lucrative contracts. Despite being the 18th highest-paid receiver, Collins ranks 10th in receiving yards with 2,123 and has made two Pro Bowl appearances, compared to only one combined for other top receivers in his pay range. Given his performance and expressed feelings of being underpaid, it is anticipated that the Texans will look to negotiate a raise for Collins soon.
