Texans' Cameron Dantzler: Signs with Houston
The Texans signed Dantzler on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The Texans are Dantzler's third team since he was cut by the Vikings back in March. He spent parts of the offseason with the Commanders and Bills. Buffalo cut him from injured reserve with an injury settlement earlier this summer. Now healthy, Dantzler will look to compete for a depth job in Houston's secondary.

Cameron Dantzler: Waived by Washington
The Commanders waived Dantzler on Tuesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Dantzler was cut by the Vikings in March and claimed off waivers by Washington, but he finds himself a free agent for the second time this offseason following May OTAs.

Cameron Dantzler: Done in Minnesota
The Vikings waived Dantzler on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Dantzler began his career in Minnesota back in 2020 and drew nine starts last season, but he was ultimately part of the reason why the Vikings sported a league-worst pass defense. After having registered 50 tackles and five passes defensed in 2022, Dantzler will now look for playing opportunities elsewhere.

Vikings' Cameron Dantzler: Hindered by injuries again in 2022
Over 10 regular-season games, Dantzler (ankle) registered 50 tackles (45 solo), five passes defended and one fumble recovery in 2022.
Dantzler reprised his starting role from the end of the 2021 campaign, playing at least 89 percent of defensive snaps in all but one of the first seven games in 2022. However, he missed eight of the final 10 games of the season while battling an ankle injury, which limited him to a career-low 10 regular-season contests. The third-year cornerback still has yet to play a full season in his NFL career. With Minnesota's most productive cornerbacks Patrick Peterson and Chandon Sullivan both set to become free agents this offseason, Dantzler could be in line for the team's top cornerback spot heading into the final season of his rookie contract in 2023.
