Texans trade Babin to Seattle for Boulware | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

The Texans traded defensive end Jason Babin to Seattle today for safety Michael Boulware.

Babin, a former no. 1 draft choice, had a good training camp and preseason, but the Texans have been desperate because of injuries at safety.

The Texans lost Glenn Earl early in training camp.

Rookie Brandon Harrison suffered a severely pulled hamstring in practice today and could be placed on injured reserve.

Starters C.C. Brown and Jason Simmons are playing with bruised shoulders.

Boulware has been a regular starter for the Seahawks.

He covers well and is an effective pass rusher.

Good trade for Houston. Boulware can play the run and pass very well, although he gets burned every once in a while.

He's a good safety, good trade on both sides. Seattle has depth at Safety.
