Texans enter June break with eighth-most salary cap space

The Houston Texans have the eighth-most salary cap space as they enter the doldrums of the offseason ahead of training camp.

The Houston Texans could still make a move.

Whether the Texans will or not is another question, but the ability to add to their roster is present.

According to Field Yates from ESPN, the Texans have the eighth-most salary cap available in the NFL at $16,667,484.

Coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters June 14 after mandatory minicamp that the team is “always evaluating.”

“We’re always looking to add and get better at many different spots on our team,” said Ryans. “So, as you guys know, in the league, your team is never set from what you have in the spring. There’s always transactions, there’s always room for improvement, so we’ll see where our team goes.”

One late addition the Texans made to their roster during the thick of the offseason program was the signing of cornerback Shaquill Griffin. Adding a player who can come to the facility and join the team on the practice field right away is one thing. Acquiring talent that won’t be ready to go until late July is another.

“That will be a fluid situation moving [forward] — not only training camp, but as we go throughout the season,” Ryans said. “The team will always be changing.”

No doubt Ryans and general manager Nick Caserio will have roster evaluation and talent acquisition in mind as both have developed a kinship since February.
