Texans to sign WR Donte Moncrief to one-year deal

Donte Moncrief is joining the Texans. NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero reports that the free-agent wideout is signing a one-year deal with Houston.

Moncrief spent the first four seasons of his career with the Colts, including a 2015 campaign in which he hauled in a career-high 733 yards. Since leaving for the Jaguars in 2018, the veteran has spent time with five different organizations.

He joined the Jets right before the start of the 2020 season, but he was released in October without having appeared in a game with the team. He ended up getting picked up by the Patriots, and he proceeded to appear in six games for New England, compiling 19 yards from scrimmage.

While there’s uncertainty surrounding who will be under center for the Texans, the team could have a similar grouping of receivers in 2021. Other than Will Fuller, the Texans are likely to return Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb and Keke Coutee.
