I just happened to find some numbers yesterday that came from HPF and I thought they were pretty interesting. They were from April 2007 and were a projection of what salaries would be this year.

Andre Johnson. 7,012,714
Matt Schaub 6,116,667
Anthony Weaver 5,900,000
Ahman Green 5,425,000
Morlon Greenwood 5,417,000
Chester Pitts 5,080,000
Mike Flanagan 4,000,000 GONE
Mario Williams 3,975,000
Kailee Wong 3,965,000 GONE
Dunta Robinson 2,431,994
Jeb Putzier 2,212,500 GONE
Kevin Walter 2,050,000
Jordan Black 2,050,000 GONE
Shawn Barber 1,883,333 GONE
Sage Rosenfels 1,850,000
Steve McKinney 1,850,000 GONE
Travis Johnson 1,731,667
Kris Brown 1,730,000
Demarcus Faggins 1,700,000
Jason Babin 1,578,670 GONE

It really struck me how many of those guys have been cut. Not only have the Texans gotten better in the last year or so, they are doing it for less money. It is really impressive how they have been able to turn around our cap
problems.

The other thing that struck me is that basically all the guys who are gone were not earning their money. The Texans are not afraid to cut a guy who can still play if he isn't earning his salary, even if it means eating dead money. I looked down the list for other players who are still here that aren't earning their keep. Two names stood out the most. Anthony Weaver and Demarcus Faggins.
