They could extend Mario alone to easily get back under. I wonder though if the Texans would be willing to commit millions upon millions guaranteed though right now given the change to the 3-4 and the unknown amount of success Mario will have in it.
So, extending Schaub seems like the smartest thing to do right now, though that alone won't be enough I don't think since his base salary is $5.7 million.
Winston is signed thru 2013 I think unless 2013 was voided somehow. His base is $4.5 million this year, then a half million more each year next.
Restructuring Antonio ($5 million base in 2011) or Andre ($7.3 million) are other possibilities if the Texans don't want to extend Mario just yet.
