One of the obvious cuts the Texans had available to them this offseason was releasing Zach Fulton. The former Kansas City guard and center, who became a worse guard in Houston, like every offensive linemen under Mike Develin’s watch, was a poor pass blocker, and his whateverness at the first level, and problems reaching the second level, added to the Texans terrible run game. He and right tackle Tytus Howard never really meshed at all.
Nick Caserio finally pulled the plug on this disaster today. The Texans chose to take the $3 million in cap savings and pay the $750K in dead money, then pay Fulton his roster bonus, and allow him to compete in camp.
