Houston Texans sign tight end Foster Moreau
· Yahoo Sports
New Orleans native Foster Moreau has agreed to a new deal in free agency with the Houston Texans. The 6’4” tight end will become a big target for quarterback C.J. Stroud in the AFC South.
Moreau, who played his prep and collegiate football in Louisiana as a Jesuit Blue Jay and LSU Tiger, respectively, has had an embattled NFL career thus far. From a season with just single-digit receptions, to knee injuries, and even being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age 25, he has had to fight through adversity, but never lost the love for the game or desire to be on the field.

Foster played at Louisiana State University from 2016-18 before being drafted in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the then Oakland Raiders. Moreau spent the first four seasons of his professional career with the Raiders and transitioned with the team to Las Vegas. He then signed with the New Orleans Saints in 2023, a potentially life-saving move.
During a physical with Saints’ medical staffers, it was discovered that Moreau had a case of Hodgkin’s, a cancer attacking his body. This diagnosis persuaded Foster to take a step back from football while seeking out treatments before New Orleans welcomed him back with open arms.
Since then, Moreau has been a reliable and fitting TE behind Juwan Johnson for the Saints, but now becomes the second player at the position to depart from the Big Easy this offseason. Jack Stoll, a former member of the Philadelphia Eagles, spent his 2025 campaign in New Orleans but recently signed with the Cleveland Browns.
The signing of TE Noah Fant will help to fill the void left by these players’ exits from New Orleans, but it will still be tough to ease the sting of losing a fan-favorite player like Moreau. Foster gets a chance at a fresh start with a team not far from home.
