Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that free-agent receiver Bethel Johnson has signed a one-year deal with the Houston Texans.
Johnson, who played college football at Texas A&M, was a second-round draft pick of the Patriots in 2003. After three disappointing seasons in New England, he was traded last year to the Saints for another former draft-day bust, defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan.
But Johnson was cut by the Saints, and later signed by the Vikings. He started two games in Minnesota, catching nine passes for 156 yards.
In March, he signed with the Eagles, but was cut in May.
With the Texans, he could possibly compete with Kevin Walter for the starting spot across from Pro Bowler Andre Johnson.
