Titans signed WR Kevin Walter, formerly of the Texans.
Walter, who turns 32 before the season, caught 41 balls for 518 yards (12.6 YPR) and two touchdowns last year across 16 games (14 starts). A reliable possession receiver and plus blocker, Walter lacks big-play ability and has never been much of a touchdown scorer. He'll add depth in Nashville with Nate Washington on his way out. Walter should not be a candidate to start. Apr 1 - 5:39 PM

Free agent WR Kevin Walter is visiting the Titans on Tuesday.

As is Brandon Stokley. It's the first we've heard of Walter since he was cut loose by the Texans on the first day of free agency. The Titans have a crowded receiver corps, but would be short on veteran experience if Nate Washington is traded or released, as expected. Walter is durable and sure-handed, but offers little as a play-maker. He'd be a downgrade from Washington.

Texans released WR Kevin Walter.

It's a move that's been long in the making. Walter is tough in traffic and a dependable blocker, but one of the league's least effective No. 2 receivers. He's held the Texans' offense back for years. The move clears $2.5 million in cap space, and allows the Texans to experiment with more explosive options opposite Andre Johnson. Keshawn Martin and Lestar Jean are both possibilities, but the Texans will surely be on the lookout for receiving help in the draft and free agency. DeVier Posey is recovering from a torn Achilles' tendon.

ESPN's Paul Kuharsky considers Kevin Walter a candidate to be released.

Walter has two years left on his deal and is due $3.5 million in 2013, but cutting him would save the Texans $2.5 million against the cap. Walter is no more than a blocker, and finding a capable No. 2 receiver to play opposite Andre Johnson is Houston's top priority.

Texans owner Bob McNair reiterated the team's desire to add a No. 2 receiver.

McNair thinks the team will mostly keep building through the draft. "It depends on what's available when our pick comes up. If we had an outstanding wide receiver who was available at that point in time, I don't doubt we'd take him," McNair said. Houston holds the No. 27 pick in the 2013 draft. The top receiver prospects include Keenan Allen, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Tavon Austin, among others. The Texans badly need to upgrade on Kevin Walter.

Kevin Walter managed just two receptions on two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's Divisional round loss at New England.

Walter was outproduced by not only rookie DeVier Posey but also FB James Casey. Due to earn $3.15 million in 2013 after losing snaps to a more dangerous Posey down the stretch, Walter could be a cap casualty entering his age-31 season.

Kevin Walter - WR - Titans

Kevin Walter had three catches for 51 yards in Sunday's loss to the Colts.

Walter didn't record his first catch until midway through the third quarter and the majority of his yards came with the Texans in deficit-induced comeback mode. While he remains one of the better blocking receivers in the league, Walter will finish with his lowest yardage total since 2006. He remains under contract through 2014, but none of his remaining $7 million in salary is guaranteed.

Kevin Walter caught one pass for 12 yards in the Texans' Week 16 loss to the Vikings.

Walter caught a quick-hitter on a pick play and appeared to get into the end zone for his first touchdown of the year. But upon second look, his knee came down while the ball was at the one-yard line. Walter will take just 467 yards into the regular season finale as an afterthought in the Texans' offense.

Kevin Walter - WR - Titans

Kevin Walter didn't record a catch in Monday night's Week 14 loss to the Patriots.

Walter was the picture of a non-factor. He was targeted three times on the night, with two of the passes coming on separate fourth-and-five situations. Needless to say, the Texans didn't convert either one. Walter dropped the first of the two, and the second was sailed over his head. Walter is the furthest thing from a fantasy option.

Kevin Walter - WR - Titans

Kevin Walter caught four passes for 33 yards in Week 13 versus Tennessee.

Walter caught four of his five targets, and it was a typical day for the veteran wideout. He lacks separation skills, and his main use is as a blocker. Houston is starting to phase him out and use more two-tight end sets. Walter should be nowhere near fantasy rosters.

Kevin Walter - WR - Titans

Kevin Walter caught two passes for 20 yards in the Texans' Week 12 overtime win over the Lions.

Walter continues to be a liability in the passing game. Despite seeing backup corner Drayton Florence, he couldn't separate or make anything happen after the catch. Walter is on the field to block in the running game, not to be on fantasy rosters.

Kevin Walter - WR - Titans

Kevin Walter caught a season-high six passes for 54 yards in Houston's Week 11 victory.

Walter wasn't involved in the passing attack until late in the fourth quarter and into overtime. He's in the lineup for his supreme blocking abilities and isn't a fantasy option.

Kevin Walter (groin) is probable for Week 11.

Walter was limited in Wednesday's practice before being upgraded to full on both Thursday and Friday. He'll be a go against the Jaguars, but isn't worth WR3 consideration during the last week of the season with byes.

Kevin Walter (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

This is an improvement over last week when Walter sat out on Wednesday before eventually playing. He's expected to suit up in Week 11 against the Jags. With the exception of extremely deep leagues, Walter is off the fantasy radar.

Kevin Walter - WR - Titans

Kevin Walter caught just two passes for 30 yards in Week 10 against the Bears.

Walter reeled in two-of-three targets, and the 30 yards was good enough for second-most on the team. He's in the lineup for his blocking skills on the outside and is not on the fantasy radar.
