Report: Texans signing Robert Woods to 2-year, $15.25M contract

Robert Woods is staying in the AFC South.

The Houston Texans are signing the veteran wide receiver to a two-year, $15.25-million deal, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The contract reportedly includes $10 million guaranteed and a maximum value of $17 million.

Woods spent the 2022 season with the Tennessee Titans, who acquired him in a trade from the Los Angeles Rams. The 30-year-old finished the campaign as Tennessee's leading receiver despite racking up a career-low 527 receiving yards. He also amassed 53 catches and two touchdowns. Tennessee released him in February.

Woods will bring plenty of experience to a young Houston team. Prior to the Titans and Rams, he spent three years with the Buffalo Bills after they drafted him in the second round of the 2013 draft.

The USC product enjoyed the best spell of his NFL career in L.A., averaging over 1,000 yards per season with the Rams from 2018-20. He suffered a torn ACL midway through the 2021 campaign.

As one of the NFL's best blocking receivers, Woods should also help Houston's running game. Dameon Pierce led the Texans with 939 rushing yards (4.3 per carry) and four touchdowns as a rookie in 2022.

The Texans' depth chart at wide receiver also features Brandin Cooks, Nico Collins, and John Metchie, among others.
