Houston acquired Mallett in a trade with the New England Patriots on Aug. 31, 2014. He re-signed with the team in March. Mallett started four games for the Texans and saw action in six contests this season. He completed 53.1 percent of his passes for 770 yards, three touchdowns, and four interceptions for a passer rating of 63.6.
