Texans avoid asking for pay cuts, for better or worse

HOUSTON -- Last week Houston Texans general manager Rick Smith boasted proudly about vice president of football administration Chris Olsen and how well he managed the team's salary cap.

"I don’t know that any player is prohibitive," Smith said. "We try to write our contracts in such a way that when we get to the end of contracts, we don’t necessarily have to move players."

Thursday's flurry of activity, in which Arian Foster, Garrett Graham and Rahim Moore were released, bore that out.
