Houston native Keenan McCardell agreed to a one-year contract with his hometown Houston Texans. McCardell, a two-time Pro Bowler, had other offers from other teams and left a good chunk of change on the table to sign with Houston.
McCardell, a product of Houston's Waltrip High School, stated, "I'm really excited about playing with the Texans. 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.''
In 199 games, McCardell has 861 catches for 11,117 yards with 62 touchdowns. In 2005, McCardell became the 13th receiver in NFL history with 800 receptions and he is also 20th on the all-time yardage list for receivers.
