Report: Texans retain Walter with multi-year deal

Football Betting Lines

03/05/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Houston Texans wide receiver Kevin Walter has reportedly re-signed with the team after becoming an unrestricted free agent earlier in the day.

The Houston Chronicle reports the pact is for multiple years. Walter was one of the top targeted receivers on Day 1 of free agency, with the Ravens as one of the top suitors. The deal to stay with Houston may have accelerated after Baltimore's acquisition of Anquan Boldin earlier Friday.

Walter missed two games with a hamstring injury last year and had 53 receptions for 611 yards with two touchdowns. The 2009 season served as a drop-off in production, despite the injury, after Walter posted career-highs of 899 yards and eight scores on 60 grabs a year prior.

In four seasons with the Texans and three for Cincinnati, the Eastern Michigan product has 225 catches for 2,766 yards and 15 TDs.
