HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans have signed quarterback Jeff Driskel to a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million, according to his agents at National Sports Agency.
Driskel is now the fifth quarterback on the Texans' roster, joining Deshaun Watson, Tyrod Taylor, Davis Mills and Ryan Finley.
Adding Driskel gives Houston more depth given the uncertainty around Watson's future with the team. Watson, who asked for a trade in January, is facing 22 civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and inappropriate behavior.
Driskel spent the 2020 season with the Denver Broncos but was released by the team earlier this month.
