The Houston Texans are in their first free agency period without Chris Olsen managing the salary cap. Olsen was relieved of his duties as senior vice president of football administration on Jan. 19, a post he had held since 2007.
Who is managing the Texans’ salary cap now?
Meet Kevin Krajcovic, the football administration coordinator for the Texans, who got the title in 2019. The Ohio University alumnus assisted Olsen with negotiating player contracts and also the club’s salary cap.
Krajcovic isn’t exactly new to the operation as he spent the last seven seasons with the Texans as a football administration analyst. Prior to that, Krajcovic, who holds two master’s degrees in sports administration and business administration, was an intern with the Texans for two seasons.
The Texans have the fourth-highest salary cap space in the NFL at $46.2 million, according to Over The Cap. Krajcovic has learned well from Olsen. the Texans need Krajcovic to keep count of the cap dollars as they attempt to re-sign left tackle Laremy Tunsil to presumably the largest contract for an offensive lineman in the NFL and also negotiate an extension with Deshaun Watson.
