The Texans signed veteran punter Bryan Anger, the team announced Tuesday. He will compete with second-year punter Trevor Daniel for the job.
The Buccaneers, who were scheduled to pay Anger $3 million this season, cut Anger in March.
Anger’s deal with the Texans is worth $1 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports.
Anger, 30, played four seasons in Jacksonville after the Jaguars made him a third-round pick. He spent three years in Tampa.
Anger averaged 45 yards and a net of 38.9 yards on 57 punts during the 2018 season. He has a net average of 40.6 yards per kick over the course of his career.
The Texans cut inside linebacker Drew Lewis in a corresponding move.
