The Texans have re-signed 28-year old WR Kevin Walter to a 5-year, $21.5 million dollar deal with $8 million bucks guaranteed. Walter played in 14 games for the Texans last season and he caught 53 passes for 611 yards (11.5 avg) with 2 TD grabs. He also carried the ball 4 times for 26 yards (6.5 ypc) for the Texans last season. Walter has now played in 62 games in his four years with the Texans and he has caught 195 passes for 2,470 yards (12.7 avg) with 14 TD grabs. He has also carried the ball 13 times for 82 yards (6.3 ypc) in his time with the Texans. This was a great move for the Texans because a lot of teams were very interested in stealing Walter away from them.
