Matt Leinart to Texans

Quarterback Matt Leinart agreed to a one-year contract with the Houston Texans, according to multiple reports.

The former first-round draft choice had been released by the Arizona Cardinals.

Leinart seemingly was in line to inherit the starting job in Arizona after Kurt Warner's retirement. Instead, the Cardinals decided to go with Derek Anderson as their starter and made Leinart an unrestricted free agent.

Leinart is expected to be the No. 3 quarterback in Houston behind starter Matt Schaub and top backup Dan Orlovsky.
