The Houston Texans have signed TE Darren Fells to a one-year contract on Monday, according to Aaron Wilson.
This comes after the Texans met with Fells early in the day.
It’s worth mentioning that signing Fells to a contract won’t impact a team’s 2019 compensatory picks, given that he was released this offseason.
Fells, 32, originally signed on with the Seahawks back in 2013. He spent just a few months in Seattle before he was waived at the start of the 2013 season and later signed by the Cardinals.
After a few years in Arizona, Fells signed a one-year contract with the Lions for the 2017 season. From there, he agreed to a three-year contract worth $12 million with the Browns last year.
Fells was set to make a base salary of $2.65 million for the 2019 season when he released last week.
In 2018, Fells appeared in all 16 games for the Browns and caught 11 passes for 117 yards receiving and three touchdowns. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 31 tight end out of 70 qualifying players.
