The Houston Texans are trying to turn the page on their rebuilding phase and get back to contending for playoff spots.
One of the NFL’s attempts to have parity in the league is the imposition of a hard salary cap. As a result, teams can’t go out and get the best talent money can buy. Teams have to be prudent with their cap dollars, which involves putting more money at certain positions.
All figures are via Spotrac. The offense is getting $87,787,436, 41.02% of the salary cap while the defense is getting $83,871,788, or 39.19% of the cap. Special teams has been allocated $8,180,833, or 3.82% of the cap.
Here is a breakdown by position of where the Texans’ dollars are going in 2022.
