So, that is 69 total players with Texans right now.

Good find. J.J. Watt is a hell of a bargain. I wonder at what point we try to extend him.

give jj a mega 30 yr extension with ownership and stadium rights, then
glover and brice, 1 and 2 priority

Paul K @ http://espn.go.com/blog/afcsouth

Shows a link to a Clayton article showing $12.9 in cap room for us next year.

Also states:
"Houston’s in better shape than I would have guessed, but has three significant guys with expiring contracts: Fullback James Casey, safety Glover Quin and outside linebacker Connor Barwin."

IMO -
Casey is a goner. Bad spot for him, and should get paid well elsewhere as a potential #1 TE.
Barwin - I wouldn't break the bank for him. Just goes MIA too often.
Quin - Hot/cold year, but I think Wade likes him back there.

Not to mention, you always have a surprise cut, or three, that might open up some additional space.

BTW - Indy has $46MM in cap space nexy year........

Re-signing Quin is clearly the priority. Thankfully he plays a relatively less expensive position.

As a TE, maybe the Texans look to put more effort into re-signing Casey. They let Dreesen walk, and it was a problem when Garrett Graham went down with the concussion. Find another FA for fullback, but 3 decent pass catching TEs are necessary for the offense.

Yeah, Barwin either signs a hometown discount now or he is gone.

As for the Colts, have to imagine they give Luck a new RB and WR at some point. Wayne is getting up there in years, and Ballard/Brown isn't the answer.

My guess was we had about 19.5 mil in cap space from all FA, but I could be wrong.
