There's been some speculation that the Texans would have interest in reuniting CB Brandon Flowers with Romeo Crennel. The Chiefs cut him last week in what was mainly a cap move. He made the Pro Bowl last year although many consider his seasons under Crennel to have been better.
If they added Flowers, would that mean Joseph would be shown the door? Joseph is 30 and looks like he's slowing down, at least in part due to injuries. They'd gain $3.75 million in cap room by cutting him, or $7.5 million if they chose to spread the dead money into 2015 using the June 1 cut rule.
If they had Joseph, Jackson, and Flowers this year they'd have some quality depth, especially given all we've heard this offseason about NFL defenses now playing the majority of snaps in nickel or dime. I don't know if that's doable from a cap standpoint, though.
