Houston Texans running back Steve Slaton has switched agents, according to a league source.

And we’ve confirmed through NFL Players Association records that Slaton is now represented by Harold Lewis of National Sports Agency in St. Louis.

The former West Virginia star was previously represented by Ethan Lock and Eric Metz.

I think it has to be a signal that Lewis has sold Slaton on his abilty to get him an extension. A holdout by Slaton would actually catch the team's attention given their utter lack of a competent backup. Not getting another RB (outside of crossing fingers on Chris Brown and signing a couple UDFAs) has to be the biggest failure of the offseason.

I wondered at first if this might have been Ryan Grant's agent, who I think is Allan Herman. Grant got a sweet contract before last season. Looks like this agency though represents Bart Scott, Jacoby Jones, Morlon Greenwood, Harry Williams, and others.
