Texans Among Leaders For Leinart

If he's signed for dirt cheap, I suppose he's an upgrade over DanO but - sheesh - I'm not sure we should go anywhere near him.

Dude is absolutely toxic. No chance in hell!

In my opinion, stories like this in the national press are usually generated either by a reporter who is engaging in speculation just to generate a cheap story, or are planted by a player's agent trying to get a little competition going for his client.

I certainly hope it's one of those two, because I don't think Leinart is a good fit for the Texans. I wouldn't mind another QB being brought in, though.

610 just reporting we've signed Leinert to a 1-year deal and their source is ESPN they say. Can't find a link yet, but will keep looking.

Somewhere, Dan Pastorini is smiling....

Matt Leinart is about to become a Houston Texan.

Chris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting that Leinart, the free agent quarterback released by the Cardinals this weekend, has agreed to terms with the Texans on a one-year deal.

In Houston, Leinart won't have any chance of unseating the starter, Matt Schaub, so he has apparently accepted the fact that he has to be a backup, at least for now. Really, he had no other choice.

But the good news for Leinart is that if he practices well and learns the offense quickly, it shouldn't take too much to unseat the current No. 2 quarterback in Houston, Dan Orlovsky. Orlovsky looked terrible in the preseason, and Leinart should be an upgrade for the Texans at the backup quarterback position.

And if Leinart isn't even an upgrade over Orlovsky, his NFL stock has fallen even further than any of us thought.
