Leinart finds new home with Texans
Football Betting Lines
09/06/2010 -
Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Texans have agreed to a one-year
contract with quarterback Matt Leinart, according to the player's agent.
The Houston Chronicle cited Leinart's agent, Tom Condon, as confirming the
move, which comes two days after the fifth-year pro was released by Arizona.
The 27-year-old Leinart had spent his entire career with Arizona and was
expected to take over the starting role there following the retirement of Kurt
Warner. However, the defending NFC West champions settled on newcomer Derek
Anderson as their starting quarterback and subsequently parted ways with the
former Heisman Trophy winner at USC.
Leinart started 11 games in his rookie season and five more in 2007, but sat
most of the last two years behind Warner.
Last year Leinart threw for just 435 yards with no touchdowns and three
interceptions in limited time behind Warner. He started one game for an
injured Warner, completing 21-of-31 passes for 220 yards in a Week 12 loss to
Tennessee.
He's expected to serve in a backup role once again, this time behind Houston
starter Matt Schaub and perhaps behind second-stringer Dan Orlovsky.
Leinart has thrown for 3,983 yards with 14 touchdowns and 20 interceptions in
four NFL seasons. He connected on 22-of-28 throws for 175 yards with one score
and no picks for Arizona this preseason.
