The Facts: The Texans announced Wednesday that they’ve agreed to a deal with Washington. John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports that it is a one-year deal worth $1 million with $30,000 in guaranteed money, which doesn’t leave the Texans with much reason to hold onto Washington should the 31-year-old look unable to help the team once they start on-field preparations for next season.
Diehards Line:
The move gives the team yet another veteran wideout to battle for playing time alongside DeAndre Hopkins in their 2015 lineup. Houston has also signed ex-Jaguar Cecil Shorts this offseason while losing Andre Johnson to the Colts. Washington spent six seasons with the Titans, culminating with 40 catches for 647 yards and two touchdowns while making 11 starts for the team in 2014. Those numbers are in line with his usual production in Tennessee, outside of the 74-catch, 1,023-yard season in 2011 that stands as Washington’s most productive NFL season.
