Texans acquired WR Derrick Mason from the Jets in exchange for a conditional draft choice.
The writing was on the wall for Mason in New York, who played just five snaps in Sunday's loss to the Patriots after making comments critical of the team's offense last week. Of course, those words probably wouldn't have mattered if he had done anything on the field this season. He hasn't, making just 13 catches for 115 yards. That puts him on pace for only 41.6 receptions and 368 yards. Coming into 2011, he had posted at least 750 receiving yards every year since 2000. In Houston, he'll provide veteran insurance for a club expected to be without Andre Johnson for at least the next two weeks. Although he will be in a passing offense worlds ahead of New York's, it's hard to believe he'll be in for a meaningful uptick in production. You can do better on the waiver wire.
I am glad Mason got traded. I am a Ravens fan and he didn't resign with the Ravens because he thought he had a better chance of winning a Super Bowl ring with the Jets. How is that working out for ya now Mase? Ha Ha.
Actually I do still think Mason has a year or 2 left in him if the Texans use him properly. Once Andre Johnson comes back, Mason should be able to play the way he is good at this point in his career. Short to intermediate passes for 1st downs. I think he is a much better fit for the Texans that the Jets. Good luck with your new team old man.
