Etienne’s Free‑Agent Future: Chiefs, Texans, Saints, Cardinals Eye the RB

After a 1,000‑yard season, analysts say Travis Etienne could land with the Chiefs, Texans, Saints or Cardinals.

Analysts say the Kansas City Chiefs could add Etienne’s play speed to upgrade a run game that ranked 25th last season, while the Houston Texans see him as a dynamic playmaker to pair with Woody Marks and give C.J. Stroud a reliable outlet. The Tampa Bay Saints view a raise and franchise tag as costly, and the Arizona Cardinals see him thriving in a scheme that attacks the outside, fitting Mike LaFleur’s offensive philosophy.
