Texans restricted free agent Owen Daniels signed his one-year contract tender on Friday worth $3.168 million, even though it’s not the long-term deal he’s hoping for.
Houston informed Daniels they need to see a healthy season out of him before handing out a big signing bonus. The fifth-year tight end is recovering from a torn ACL and his base salary is competitive with many of the top tight ends in the league.
Daniels may sit out most of the contact work in training camp as he recovers from his injury.
