Wyatt Teller<\/a> and Kevin Stefanksi<\/a> will both break camp in a new location come the summer of 2026.<\/p>\n

Stefanski, a two-time NFL Coach of the Year recipient<\/a>, was fired by the Cleveland Browns following back-to-back losing seasons. He has since landed as the new man in command with the Atlanta Falcons and plans to bring the NFC South team back to the postseason.<\/p>\n

Teller, a three-time Pro Bowler with the Browns, was told his time was up after the 2025 season. He has since signed with the Houston Texans,<\/a> serving as the anchor for a hopefully retooled offensive line that’s ready to compete for a Super Bowl berth.<\/p>\n

Fully healthy, Teller sounds rejuvenated and eager to return to the playing field. At his peak, the 31-year-old is one of the more balanced guards in the league who excels in run blocking sets.<\/p>\n

Stefanski can attest to that and believes there’s more left than meets the eye<\/a> after leaving the Land for a fresh start in Houston.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he has a lot left as a player,\u201d Stefanski told KPRC 2 Sports’ Aaron Wilson<\/a> at the annual NFL meetings at the Arizona Biltmore. \u201cNobody is more physical than Wyatt. Nobody cares more. Great teammate. I think it\u2019s a great fit for them down in Houston.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s older in experience, but he\u2019s a great teammate. He\u2019s going to push his teammates. Practices really hard. Again, his play style speaks for itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Texans<\/a> plan on playing the longtime right guard on the left side of the line. It’s. challenge, but one Teller is excited to face head-on. He already learned how to play on the right side of the line after joining the Browns via trade from the Buffalo Bills in 2019.<\/p>\n

That resulted in two All-Pro accolades and \u00a094 career starts. After earning a two-year deal worth up to $23 million, the hope is that what worked in Cleveland will follow Teller to Houston as the franchise looks to compete for its first-ever Super Bowl appearance behind Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud and the No. 1 defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever I can help coming and playing at the best I can be,\u201d Teller said last week at his introductory press conference. \u201cGetting back to what I am good at, being that nasty, gritty player. There were a couple of plays in this past year, where there were glimpses of it, but being that consistent player again. All-Pro, Pro Bowl player that can help the Texans win.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 31, 2026, 3:28 p.m. CT Wyatt Teller and Kevin Stefanksi will both break camp in a new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":766606,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2056],"tags":[95878,7,221,253,2368,6,96520,96521,95882,96676,97397,95953,96682,95896,95888,96683,96685,95895,96681,96686,96680,96687,96684,95906,95883,108691,222,1461,95881],"class_list":["post-846051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston-texans","tag-accessfree","tag-football","tag-houston","tag-houston-texans","tag-houstontexans","tag-nfl","tag-sstssportsnfltexans","tag-sstsntexans","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagc-j-stroud","tag-taghouston","tag-taghouston-texans","tag-tagmadden-nfl","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagnfl","tag-tagnfl-draft","tag-tagnfl-films","tag-tagnfl-hub","tag-tagnfl-junkies","tag-tagnfl-mvp","tag-tagnfl-overreactions","tag-tagnfl-playoffs","tag-tagnfl-scouting-combine","tag-tagoverall-positive","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tagwyatt-teller","tag-texans","tag-tx","tag-typestory"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/846051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=846051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/846051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/766606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=846051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=846051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=846051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
