Texans Should Get Favre

- Start date
The Texans intend to sign either Jeff Garcia or Jake Delhomme Tuesday, a source tells ESPN.com.
The two veteran free agents are working out for the Texans today. Garcia also worked out in Houston last week, but the team chose to sign Kellen Clemens instead. Regardless, rookie T.J. Yates will get the first crack at running with the job when he starts against the Falcons on Sunday. Kellen Clemens will be his backup.

Texans agreed to terms with QB Jake Delhomme.
Coach Gary Kubiak made it clear Monday that he wanted a veteran QB who has "been in a few rodeos" as a fall-back plan to rookie T.J. Yates and newly signed Kellen Clemens. The 36-year-old Delhomme, who had been working on his own horse farm in Louisiana, was chosen over Jeff Garcia after Tuesday's workout. Coming off a 2:7 TD-to-INT ratio and 5.9 YPA with the Browns in 2010, Delhomme isn't an immediate threat to Yates. The Texans could turn to him as a steadier hand by late December, however, in preparation for the playoffs. Clemens is the No. 3 QB.
