The Facts: According to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun, the Texans are signing Potter.
Diehards Line:Potter spent four years with the Jaguars and had stints with the Rams and Jets, but didn’t play last year. He has 11 career receptions. He joins a roster already boasting former Pro Bowler Owen Daniels, Garrett Graham and promising youngster Ryan Griffin at the position. Daniels has a $6.5 million cap figure, and he's going into his ninth season, but new HC Bill O'Brien likes a lot of tight ends, and Daniels is experienced and productive. Graham blossomed with 49 catches for 545 yards and five touchdowns before a severe hamstring injury ended his season prematurely. Griffin, a sixth-round pick, did a terrific job near the end of the season and finished with 19 catches for 244 yards. The previous staff loved him. He's 6-6, can run and has good hands. As the Sports Xchange recently suggested, if the Texans re-sign Graham and Daniels doesn't need to be a cap casualty, this position will be in good hands for a new coach who utilizes multiple tight ends.
