After just one season in Nashville, Robert Woods is heading to Houston. The veteran receiver, who was released by the Titans late last month, has signed a two-year, $15.25 million deal with a $10 million guarantee. according to NFL media.
Last offseason, Woods was traded from the Rams to the Titans in exchange for a sixth-round pick. He caught 53 of 91 goals for 527 yards and two touchdowns during his only season with the Titans, who ended the year with a disappointing 8-9 record.

Woods, a second-round pick in 2013, enjoyed four solid years at Buffalo before joining the Rams as a free agent in 2017. In 2018, he rushed for a career-high 1,218 yards while helping Los Angeles capture an NFC title. Woods followed that season with another 1,000-yard campaign in 2019.
Woods finished a third straight 1,000-yard receiving season in 2020, 66 yards down. He made another strong start in 2021 before picking up a season-ending injury after nine games. Despite Woods’ injury, the Rams won the Super Bowl that season after signing Odell Beckham Jr., who scored a touchdown in Los Angeles’ 23-20 win over the Bengals at Super Bowl LVI.
The 30-year-old wideout will likely play with a rookie quarterback in Houston. The Texans, currently No. 2 overall pick, are expected to select either former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young or former Ohio State passer CJ Stroud.
Houston’s offense also features fellow wideouts Brandin Cooks, Nico Collins, John Metchie III, left tackle Laremy Tunsil, and running back Dameon Pierce. The Texans are ushering in a new era after hiring former 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans as their new coach earlier this offseason.
