The impeding doom everyone foresaw is no longer a possibility. Matt Kalil won’t get the opportunity to start at left tackle against Cameron Jordan and give up three sacks in a half. The Texans traded their most valuable assets for Laremy Tunsil yesterday, and today, they released Kalil, who won’t even get the chance to be a swing tackle for the Texans this year.
By cutting Kalil the Texans save $5.25 million this year since his salary was only guaranteed if he was on the roster on week one.
