Shorts has signed a two-year deal with the Texans, ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

As it stands now, Shorts -- who recorded 53 catches for 577 yards and one touchdown in 13 games with the Jags this past season -- figures to start opposite DeAndre Hopkins in 2015, with the Texans having parted ways with Andre Johnson. Shorts will be catching passes from either Ryan Mallett or Brian Hoyer this season, but whoever ends up as the Texans' QB, Shorts' fantasy upside is tied to his ability to stay on the field. The 27-year-old wideout has missed 14 games to date over his four-year NFL career.
