Report: Ravens sign WR Houshmandzadeh
Football Betting Lines
09/06/2010 - Culver City, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Baltimore Ravens added depth to the wide receiver position by reportedly agreeing to a one-year contract with T.J. Houshmandzadeh on Monday.
The NFL Network, among others, are reporting the signing, thought to be for $855,000.
Several teams were reportedly in the mix for the wide receiver, including St. Louis, Oakland and Washington.
The move was necessary after wide receiver Donte Stallworth suffered a broken foot in the preseason and is expected to be sidelined up to eight weeks.
The 32-year-old Houshmandzadeh became available when he was released by Seattle on Saturday. He played only one season with the Seahawks after signing a four-year $40 million contract that included $15 million guaranteed in March of 2009.
A seventh-round pick in the 2001 NFL Draft, Houshmandzadeh had 79 catches for 911 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games last season. He is expected to serve as the No. 3 receiver behind Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason.
Over nine NFL seasons, Houshmandzadeh has caught 586 passes for 6,693 yards with 40 touchdowns in 121 games -- 90 starts -- with Cincinnati and Seattle.
