Stanford Routt, anyone?

The problem as I see it is that we are so tight to the cap (one of the 5 teams with the least cap space), so that will make it virtually impossible to compete for his services and still have a chance of signing a couple of our own guys that will be pricy to sign. Really a shame as I think he would be the piece that makes the back end of the defense complete.

The only way I see this happening is if Routt gives the Texans a hometown discount. Keep in mind, Routt still gets his $20MM from the Raiders so it's conceivable he might give a discount to come to a team that has a young, talented D and is a Super Bowl contender - especially one in his hometown. Of course, it would most likey come at the expense of a veteran cut (Demeco, Walter) and/or losing a FA or two (Dressen, Briesel, etc.)
