Johnthan Banks is getting another shot with an NFL team.
The Texans are signing the former Mississippi State cornerback, who was a second-round pick of the Buccaneers in 2013. The Houston Chronicle reported Banks was one of several free-agent cornerbacks the Texans worked out Tuesday, along with B.W. Webb, Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Corey White and Josh Thornton.
Banks had stints with three teams last year after the Bucs traded him to the Lions in November. The Lions released him a month later and he finished the year with the Bears.
The 6-2 cornerback, who won the 2012 Jim Thorpe Award, has 136 career tackles with 17 passes defensed and seven interceptions and a touchdown.
The Texans have a need at corner after Kevin Johnson suffered a Grade 2 sprained medial collateral ligament in his knee and will miss four to six weeks, according to the Chronicle.
Auction: In this format, instead of drafting in a specific order, you will have a set budget and get to bid on each player in an auction format. This really tests your skills on an extra level, because not only do you need to know player values but you also have to consider your budget during the auction draft. Make sure that all of your owners are committed to being online from the beginning to the end of the auction, because our system will automatically bid for any owner not online. While this helps fill the void, it also wreaks havoc on the prices of players and makes it difficult for active bidders to find values.

Draft Settings: It’s extremely important to make sure all of your owners are able to attend the draft in person or online, so that you can avoid autodrafting. Our system will make autodraft picks for any owners not in attendance for a live online draft, which helps fill the void, but the human element is part of drafting, and absentee owners can have a negative effect on the fairness of the league. In other words: Don’t be that guy/gal who forgets your draft is going on.
