Agreed, lots of rational thinking in this thread, love it.
The cap savings comes in future years because I would assume the prorated bonus money on his last contract now accelerates to the 2012 cap. I don't have the exact figures, but the Texans saved probably the $5.9 million on his base pay but offset that against the bonus acceleration.
I had DeMeco down for base salaries of $6.6 million in 2013 and $6.8 million in 2014, so add the bonus, and I could easily see this saving $9 million off the 2013 cap.
Trading solid, but expensive starters for multiple picks... nice move, Patrio-err.....Texans.
