The contract contains just $350,000 in guarantees, according to a source.

The New York Jets had scheduled a visit with Rackers on Tuesday, but the Texans intercepted him along the way and struck a deal.

The Texans plan to bring Rackers and Kris Brown to training camp this summer as the two kickers stage an open battle for the job.

The 33-year-old Brown scored 106 points last season, but he missed field goals that could have forced overtimes in some key Houston losses. He also had field-goal attempts from 35, 28 and 26 yards blocked.

Houston finished a franchise-best 9-7 in 2009.
