The previous Texans regime didn’t understand the concept of value. They made sloppy pours across the roster. This is how Eric Murray gets the contract he has. This is why Ka’imi Fairbairn is one of the thirteen highest paid players on the team. It’s also why punter Brian Anger had a cap hit of $3.25 million last year.
Earlier this week Nick Caserio released Anger to save $2.5 million in cap space. This money could then be used on a punter, and a wide receiver who could return kicks, or a linebacker, instead of on a punter alone.
