The Houston Texans are fixing their receiving corps after trading away three-time All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins.
On Monday evening, the Texans agreed to terms with free agent receiver Randall Cobb, giving the former Green Bay Packer and Dallas Cowboy a three-year contract worth $27 million with $18.75 million guaranteed.
For the Texans, it gives them another veteran receiver to add to their collection of No. 2s and 3s now that Hopkins will be playing for the Arizona Cardinals in 2020. Cobb is a seasoned wideout who caught 55 passes for 828 yards and three touchdowns for the Cowboys in 2019. The former 2011 second-round pick from Kentucky was a stable part of the Packers’ receiving corps from 2011-18 when he caught 470 passes for 5,524 yards and 41 touchdowns in his 105 games, starting in 73 of them. Cobb added his only Pro Bowl selection in 2014.
Cobb will team up with receivers Will Fuller, Keke Coutee, Kenny Stills, DeAndre Carter, and Steven Mitchell to provide reliable targets for two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Deshaun Watson, who enters his fourth season in Houston.
