Texans Sign QB Matt Leinart To A One-Year Deal

Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart has agreed to one-year contract with the Houston Texans after finding little interest from the rest of the NFL's 31 teams, according to league sources. He will take a physical, sign the contract and join the team Monday. Leinart will become the Texans' third quarterback behind starter Matt Schaub and backup Dan Orlovsky, who will remain the No. 2 at least until Leinart has some command of Houston's offensive scheme, sources said. The Texans cut John David Booty, another former USC quarterback, when they trimmed their roster to the mandatory 53 limit on Saturday, leaving Schaub and Orlovsky as the two quarterbacks. Leinart will be working with some of the NFL's best receiving talent, including All-Pro Andre Johnson.

Out goes one former USC QB, and in comes another former USC QB.

 

I hope he's treated like David Carr was...

 

This kind of surprised me. I thought Leinart was going to Seattle to be with his former U$C coach, Pete Carroll.

 

WHY!!!!!!!!!!?

 

Their contract ended 4 years ago

 

They need somebody exceptionally talented at wearing a baseball cap and holding a clipboard pretending to be part of the game.

 

And we need to use up David Carr's old hair gel.

 

Kubiak is gonna make Matt trade bait. Still better than Olowski! (Spl)
I'd rather keep Booty and Matt.
