According to the Houston Chronicles, Mallett was to be released over the weekend by O’Brien only for general manager Rick Smith to prevent this having in mind that the team had only Hoyer as the lone quarterback during the Sunday’s game in Miami where the team was trailing 41-0 by half time.

Mallett now is a free agent. It is yet to be enticing to see if another team will offer him a chance to redeem himself after a boring time with the Texans. Nonetheless, he will have to wait until the preseason until he acquires a job.
