Ex-Titans WR Nate Washington lands with Texans

Veteran wide receiver Nate Washington will play for the Texans in 2015.

Washington, who played for the Titans the past six seasons, agreed to terms with the Texans on a one-year contract Wednesday.

"It meant a lot to hear their words and see their reaction toward me when I got into the building," Washington said. "It was big. It was exciting for them to treat me like an asset. They feel like I'm a piece of the puzzle that's much needed. Hopefully, I can fit in where needed and help guide the young guys in the right direction."

The 10-year veteran out of Tiffin spent his first four seasons with the Steelers and joined the Titans as a free agent in 2009. Last season he had 40 catches for 647 yards and two touchdowns.

Washington's best season was 2011, when he caught 74 passes for 1,023 yards and seven touchdowns. In six seasons with the Titans, he had 307 catches for 4,591 yards and 28 touchdowns.

The Titans recently signed former Falcons wide receiver Harry Douglas, who joins returning wideouts Kendall Wright and Justin Hunter. Jacoby Ford was signed earlier this offseason.
