One more note on McClain.... I really don't have an axe to grind with him or anything, but he is reporting what he hears, not what he knows or understands. And the Texans and McClain are chummy as the Texans use the paper as their unofficial megaphone and McClain gets to fill his columns and blogs. Point being, the Texans don't want to hurt their negotiating position by advertising how much space they can possbly have.
It'd be like going to buy a car and telling the seller the absolute most you could ever possibly pay for their product. The Texans are just fine posing themselves as cap-poor instead of saying, well we could extend Mario, cut Amobi and Slaton and whoever and create $25MM more in cap space...
