As you all probably know being regulars and astute fans, the media reports on cap figures are not always 100% reliable, at a minimum there are plenty of caveats to disclose, (just top 51 salaries included, or all players? for example).
Anyway, I imagine the figure Clayton has isn't too bad... but keep in mind that the Texans have some dead weight and overpaid players still on the roster.
And sure, some of these team, like the Bills for example, are way under the cap, but they're way under for a reason, a fiscal one. Keep in mind the cap figure is just an accounting one, not a cash flow one. Teams will need to get to the floor, but I don't think it or the apparent lack of cap space necessarily keeps the Texans from signing Aso if they made it a priority when UFA opens.
