The Houston Texans were among the Super Bowl hopefuls last season, but one former playerâlinebacker Power Echolsâis now with the team that actually won it all in 2025, the Seattle Seahawks.
Echols is a former undrafted free agent who only spent about one month with the Texans.
Still, it is a notable move for the undersized defender, who began his career as a college free agent with the Chicago Bears.
Ex-Texans LB Joins Seahawks
âThe #Seahawks have signed former Bears, Texans linebacker Power Echols,â Emerald City Spectrumâs Corbin K. Smith reported on X on August 7. âThey released linebacker Joseph Vaughn in a corresponding move.â
Echols, 23, was a standout at LSU before turning pro.
Echols signed with Houston in December, but the Texans cut ties with the 5-foot-11 LB just over one month later.
He played in all three of the Bearsâ preseason contests last year, though. Echols finished the exhibition slate with just 2 total tackles, but he received high marks across the board from Pro Football Focus for his efforts.
The Seahawks are coming off an impressive run to and victory in the Super Bowl.
Echols could have found a fitting home following his stints with the Bears and Texans in another team that has a dynamic defense with the Seahawks.
