He's going to be given an opportunity to make the team. The cap savings for him this year isn't that huge and perhaps Bush and Kollar think they can get something out of him.

I thought Green was history long ago, released by now ? But the Greenwood move is constructive.
I dunno, maybe they want to retain Weaver if he agrees to the right restructured deal ?

I was expecting Weaver to be cut as well. Anyone think moving him to DT might be an option?

Will Demps has to be cut, right?

Not cutting Weaver has me worried. With Adibi and Diles hurt much of last season and Weaver staying, could this mean that OLB has become their top priority? I hope not because this is a weak crop of OLB's in the upcoming draft. I prey they dont reach for someone like Cushing at 15.

There goes our 3rd and 4th highest cap figures for '09. Green wasn't much in savings (only about 800,000 due to remaining bonus) but cutting Greenwood saved us $1.5 million, assuming there weren't any upcoming roster bonuses for either. I think the reason we didn't see Weaver cut (at least not yet) is that, in spite of the high cap figure he holds, it looks like (at least from a glance at Keith's page) that cutting him would result in a net loss of $1.9 million. While Weaver's not worth his contract, he's not so bad that we feel that we need to take that loss. It's still considerably cheaper to keep him and have him compete for a spot on the bench than it is to cut him and Weaver's still decent enough depth. As long as the Texans don't consider him a starter, I have no problem with keeping him around when the alternatives are more expensive.
