Mike Flanagan 4,000,000 GONE I agree. He never really played well for us at all.
Mario Williams 3,975,000
Kailee Wong 3,965,000 GONE He retired. I think we would have kept him had he not.
Dunta Robinson 2,431,994
Jeb Putzier 2,212,500 GONE He was made expedable by a younger better Daniels. There just wasnt a spot for him. He was beat out by competition.
Kevin Walter 2,050,000
Jordan Black 2,050,000 GONE This was always a head scratcher to me.
Shawn Barber 1,883,333 GONE He was hurt off the bat and I think that when Thompon and Bently were available it made signing him pointless.
Sage Rosenfels 1,850,000
Steve McKinney 1,850,000 GONE Skinny will always be one of my favorite Texans. The man endured and played his but off for some sorry ass coaching. His injury, age, the scheme, and depth at that position just made him no longer a fit.
Travis Johnson 1,731,667
Kris Brown 1,730,000
Demarcus Faggins 1,700,000
Jason Babin 1,578,670 GONE He got screwed. They tried to force him into a role he didnt fit into.
It really struck me how many of those guys have been cut. Not only have the Texans gotten better in the last year or so, they are doing it for less money. It is really impressive how they have been able to turn around our cap
problems.
The other thing that struck me is that basically all the guys who are gone were not earning their money. The Texans are not afraid to cut a guy who can still play if he isn't earning his salary, even if it means eating dead money. I looked down the list for other players who are still here that aren't earning their keep. Two names stood out the most. Anthony Weaver and Demarcus Faggins.
