Laken Tomlinson
33-Year-Old
Free Agent
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tomlinson latched on with the Texans, who are overhauling last year's offensive line. The 10-year veteran started at left guard during OTAs, but that doesn't mean he'll be there come Week 1. Teams that allow 52 sacks in a season - as Houston did in 2024 - will be conducting a thorough review of every candidate in camp. Read Past Outlooks
Released by the Texans in December of 2025.
Let go by Houston
The Texans waived Tomlinson on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Tomlinson started in seven of the Texans' first eight games of the regular season, but he was a healthy inactive for the last two games. Assuming he clears waivers, the 2015 first-rounder will look to catch on with a team in need of depth on the offensive line.

Tomlinson was a major disappointment in his first season with the Jets after signing a three-year, $40 million contract. The 31-year-old left guard -- who has missed just one game in his NFL career -- will look to bounce back in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On Seattle's radar
Tomlinson has received interest from the Seahawks as a free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Seattle is thought to still be in the market for a veteran offensive guard, and Tomlinson is one of the few remaining options with starting experience, suiting up for all 34 games with the Jets over the last two seasons. The Seahawks have also had internal discussions about bringing former Bears lineman Cody Whitehair in for a visit.
