WR McCardell signs one-year deal with Texans http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/5003959.html WR McCardell signs one-year deal with Texans Veteran receiver Keenan McCardell, a Houston native who played for San Diego last season, has agreed to a one-year contract with the Texans. McCardell said he had numerous offers and left some money on the table to sign with his hometown team. He'll be payed $820,000 this season and got a $40,000 signing bonus. "I'm really excited about playing with the Texans,'' McCardell said. "They've been interested in me for quite a while and even though other teams were too, this just seem like a natural fit for me.'' McCardell will sign his contract Friday morning and will be on the field when the Texans begin practicing.
Someone has to say "releasing Eric Moulds makes no sense". As mediocre as Moulds was last season he beat McCardell in every category (except yards per catch), even TDs with his 1 compared to McCardell's ZERO. Must just be a money saving alternative for a veteran presence who'll be more accepting of a lessened role while younger players get a look. Not that I'ma big fan of Moulds, just wondering what the Texans are doing
It was my understanding that Moulds asked to be released out of frustration over David Carr (whom the team originally suggested would remain as starter next year because of a lack of takers). But that could be mistaken on my part. I agree that McCardell is a (slight) step down from Moulds. Evan
Had Moulds slowed down? I heard Andre Ware commenting on SportsDrivel 610 that Moulds was slower than they had hoped for towards the end of last season.
