Don't be shocked if the Texans restructure veteran contracts, namely Danielle Hunter, Tytus Howard, Nico Collins, Derek Stingley Jr., Dalton Schultz and Azeez Al-Shaair. Houston can gain approximately $72 million in cap space for the next league year with these six players alone. Nevertheless, he, Hunter, Howard, Collins, Stingley and Al-Shaair are all key pieces of a Texans core that was two wins away from reaching Super Bowl LX. Trading or cutting Schultz with a post-June 1 designation creates $11.5 million in cap savings and a roughly $4.5 million sunk cost. With Schultz slated for unrestricted free agency in 2027, the Texans may just be better off letting his pact expire.
