The Cameron Johnston era in Philadelphia is over. The Eagles' now former punter has signed with the Houston Texans on a three-year deal, according to Mike Kaye of NJ.com.
#EAGLES EXTRA SCOOP: Former Eagles punter Cam Johnston has agreed to a 3-year, $8 million deal with the Houston Texans, per source.

The deal includes a $1 million signing bonus and $3 million in guaranteed money.

Johnston did not have a good season in 2020, and was a restricted free agent whose tender amount would have been $2,183,000. The Eagles were right not to pay that, and it's a weird signing by the Texans, frankly.
How did your punter perform in 2020?

Here are our final Punter Rankings for the season
It was a TREMENDOUS year for punting all around, congrats to all involved!#forthebrand #punttowin pic.twitter.com/SUd8OUCM3h
The Eagles do have another punter on the roster. That would be Arryn Siposs, who the team signed to a futures contract in January. The Eagles could also add another punter and have a competition in training camp. Please God, I don't ask for much. Give me that. 🙏
