rhino Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 link Jul. 23, 2007 - 12:53 p.m. ET The Washington Post's Jason LaCanfora hears that free agent Keenan McCardell has agreed to terms with the Texans. The Redskins were the other team pursuing McCardell, but reportedly only offered him the veteran's minimum. In Houston, the 37-year-old could push Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones to start or contribute from the slot. Source: Washington Post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 If he has anything left in the tank then this is a good signing for Houston. Of course I thought Moulds was a good signing for Houston as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 As a wily veteran he's a nice addition to Houston's WR coaching staff. I wish him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 He should be an excellent mentor to Andre Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 I'm thinking this is a good signing by HOU. I was hoping it would go thru, and WAS wouldn't nab him from HOU. At the very least, he'll be a good mentor for Jacoby Jones and Kevin Walters. At the very best, he'll become the WR2 opposite Andre Johnson. One's gotta' think that one of the following will step up to be a WR2 -- Keenan McCardell, Kevin Walter, Jacoby Jones ®, Andre Davis, Bethel Johnson, Charlie Adams, Jerome Mathis. :crossed fingers: Well done, HOU. (There's still Marc Boerigter in the CFL, though. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Now, it appears that this "signing" was reported in error, and McCardell has yet to agree to terms with any team. Darnit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(There's still Marc Boerigter in the CFL, though. ) If they do end up signing him, I would hope that it is more of a mentor/3rd WR role and not as a starter. McCardell has always been a very consistant WR, but at his age I would prefer that the Texans develop their young WRs, more specifically Walter and Jones.

Fair enough, but do you think they need another mentor other than Andre Johnson? I'm thinking Schaub needs someone to throw to, other than AJohnson and ODaniels.

But I think Walter will make a very nice #2 for Schaub. I also think Ahman Green will be a big part of the passing game this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree that AGreen will be a big part of the passing game, but in a different light -- I think he'll be blocking a lot! (Charles Spencer to start on PUP, missing first 6 weeks of season.)

I can see the catches and yards but think the TD's are closer to 3-4. IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
