Salary Cap Status Article

Interesting AJ renegotiates every year but once again is a fairly large hit to the cap this coming year. Is another re-do in order? Frustrating to see this team being near the bottom of the available cap pool with only 2 wins last year. There are definitely some other players not on this list (Daniels, JJoe, Manning, etc) that might be casualties and clear out more space, but even at that, it's not a good sign for the future, IMO. And that Schuab deal looks sooo very awful now. We'll probably be saying the same thing next year about Foster's deal.

25. Houston Texans
Available Cap Space — $8,325,377

Andre Johnson’s wildly successful 2013 actually hurt the Texans. His 2014 cap hit -- which now stands at $15,644,583 -- has increased due to contract escalators. Houston will get a boost in cap room if it releases Matt Schaub ($14,125,000 2014 cap hit), but the $10,500,000 of dead money associated with Schaub equals cap savings of only $3,625,000. Finding a franchise quarterback is far and away the Texans' most important offseason task.
