Steven Nelson: Could be returning to NFL
Steven Nelson is expected to visit the Chiefs on Monday to potentially set up joining Kansas City for the stretch run of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Nelson became a free agent following the end of Houston's playoff run last season and announced his retirement in June. However, he appears to be gearing up for a return to the league -- possibly with the team that drafted him out of Oregon State in 2015. Nelson remained effective in his age-30 campaign last year, playing in all 17 regular-season games for the Texans and tallying 63 tackles (48 solo) along with 12 pass defenses, including four interceptions. He also started in both of Houston's playoff contests and returned an interception for a touchdown in a wild-card round win against Cleveland. If Nelson does end up reuniting with the Chiefs, he'd be joining the organization he spent his first four NFL campaigns with.

Texans' Steven Nelson: Enters free agency
Steven Nelson (concussion) recorded 63 tackles, 12 passes defensed and four interceptions over 17 regular season games in 2023.Nelson had a contentious offseason with the front office, held out of OTAs, eventually signed a reworked deal, and was named a team captain. The cornerback then played through several nagging injuries to complete a full 17-game season and had a pick-six in the Houston Texans' postseason win over the Browns. He earned a reputation as a leader and one of the hardest workers on defense. Nelson, who turned 31 in January, enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and will want to be paid. It's unlikely Houston general manager Nick Caserio will want to pay what Nelson feels he deserves.
